Abstract
Smooth muscles within the wall of the urinary tract develop various forms of spontaneous activity. In the gastrointestinal tract, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) act as electrical pacemaker cells or intermediaries of neuromuscular transmission. Interstitial cells (ICs) immunoreactive to the Kit antibody, a specific marker for ICC, are also distributed in the urinary tract, and presupposed to function similarly to ICC. However, evidence supporting such roles of ICs is very limited and mostly circumstantial.
