This study was designed in order to examine the expression and functional role of syntaxin 2/epimorphin in pancreatic b cells. Northern blot analysis revealed that syntaxin 2 mRNA was able to be detected in mouse bTC3 cells, but not in isolated mouse islets. In agreement with this result, immunoblot
Using rat [3-cells we present evidence that Sr 2+ and Ba 2+, like Ca 2+, support depolarization-induced increases in membrane capacitance which reflect insulin granule exocytosis. Even with identical total charge entry, Sr 2+ and Ba 2+ are 3-5 and 20-fold less effective than Ca 2+ in supporting rele
