tPA-GFP is a reliable probe for detecting compound exocytosis in human pancreatic β-cells. [PDF]
Pancreatic β‐cells secrete insulin stored in large dense core vesicles (LDCV) by fusion of vesicle and plasma membrane during a process called insulin exocytosis.

SNAP23 Regulates Endothelial Exocytosis of von Willebrand Factor. [PDF]
Endothelial exocytosis regulates vascular thrombosis and inflammation. The trafficking and release of endothelial vesicles is mediated by SNARE (Soluble NSF Attachment protein REceptors) molecules, but the exact identity of endothelial SNAREs has been ...

Rab10 regulates neuropeptide release by maintaining Ca<sup>2+</sup> homeostasis and protein synthesis. [PDF]
Dense core vesicles (DCVs) transport and release various neuropeptides and neurotrophins that control diverse brain functions, but the DCV secretory pathway remains poorly understood.

Rabphilin-3A negatively regulates neuropeptide release, through its SNAP25 interaction. [PDF]
Neuropeptides and neurotrophins are stored in and released from dense core vesicles (DCVs). While DCVs and synaptic vesicles (SVs) share fundamental SNARE/SM proteins for exocytosis, a detailed understanding of DCV exocytosis remains elusive. We recently

MARCKS protein is phosphorylated and regulates calcium mobilization during human acrosomal exocytosis. [PDF]
Acrosomal exocytosis is a calcium-regulated exocytosis that can be triggered by PKC activators. The involvement of PKC in acrosomal exocytosis has not been fully elucidated, and it is unknown if MARCKS, the major substrate for PKC, participates in this ...

Lysosomal Exocytosis: The Extracellular Role of an Intracellular Organelle
Lysosomes are acidic cell compartments containing a large set of hydrolytic enzymes. These lysosomal hydrolases degrade proteins, lipids, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids into their constituents. Materials to be degraded can reach lysosomes either from

Insulin granule biogenesis and exocytosis
Insulin is produced by pancreatic β-cells, and once released to the blood, the hormone stimulates glucose uptake and suppresses glucose production. Defects in both the availability and action of insulin lead to elevated plasma glucose levels and are ...

Intracellular Electrochemical Nanomeasurements Reveal that Exocytosis of Molecules at Living Neurons is Subquantal and Complex [PDF]
Since the early work of Bernard Katz, the process of cellular chemical communication via exocytosis, quantal release, has been considered to be all or none. Recent evidence has shown exocytosis to be partial or 'subquantal' at single-cell model systems, but there is a need to understand this at communicating nerve cells.
