Calcium release and internal calcium regulation in acinar cells of exocrine glands

The Journal of Membrane Biology volume 124, pages 189–197 (1991)Cite this article

Conclusion

Recent results call for a reinterpretation of the mechanisms underlying the recruitment of intracellular Ca2+ in exocrine glands. One new hypothesis suggested by these developments is that InsP3-sensitive channels liberate Ca2+ ions from secretory vesicles, as illustrated in Fig. 5.
