Voltage-dependent delayed rectifier K؉ channels regulate aspects of both stimulus-secretion and excitationcontraction coupling, but assigning specific roles to these channels has proved problematic. Using transgenically derived insulinoma cells (TC3-neo) and -cells purified from rodent pancreatic islets of Langerhans, we studied the expression and role of delayed rectifiers in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
