Macrophages and macrophage-like cells.
Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Melanosome. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Cell projection, ruffle. In macrophages, may be predominantly cytoplasmic. Nuclear localization was observed in fibroblasts. In macrophages, present at the membrane-cytoplasm interface. In activated macrophages, concentrated in the ruffles of the leading lamellipodia.
