Quantal ATP release in rat beta-cells by exocytosis of insulin-containing LDCVs.

Quantal release of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) was monitored in rat pancreatic beta-cells expressing P2X(2) receptors. Stimulation of exocytosis evoked rapidly activating and deactivating ATP-dependent transient inward currents (TICs). The unitary charge (q) of the events recorded at 0.2 microM [Ca...
