Exocytotic properties of human pancreatic beta-cells.
Pancreatic beta-cells secrete insulin in response to elevated blood glucose via Ca(2+)-dependent fusion of secretory granules with the plasma membrane (regulated exocytosis). While exocytosis has been extensively investigated in rodent beta-cells, studies on human beta-cells are scarce. We have char...
