Voltage-activated currents in guinea pig pancreatic alpha 2 cells. Evidence for Ca2+-dependent action potentials.
Glucagon-secreting alpha 2 cells were isolated from guinea pig pancreatic islets and used for electrophysiological studies of voltage-activated ionic conductances using the patch-clamp technique. The alpha 2 cells differed from beta cells in producing action potentials in the absence of glucose. The...
