Mast cells (or mast cells or heparinocytes) are mainly located in connective tissue or along blood capillaries. They are similar to basophilic granulocytes – they have granules with heparin (hence heparinocytes) and histamine in their cytoplasm and receptors for IgE on their surface. They are used in allergic reactions and inflammatory processes.
