Albuminous cells can be found in several tissues, but they are most commonly associated with glands that secrete protein-rich substances. For instance, they are prominent in the pancreas (in the acinar cells), salivary glands (in acinar and ductal cells), and in the liver (hepatocytes). These cells are also present in the endocrine glands, such as the anterior pituitary, where they secrete protein hormones.
