Golgi vesicles fuse with the cell membrane and discharge their contents into the exterior of the cell through a process called exocytosis. |
The exocytosis of secretory proteins may be regulated, whereby a ligand must bind to a receptor to trigger vesicle fusion and protein secretion. |
Scattered areas of lymphocytic exocytosis and extravasated red blood cells within the superficial dermis and epidermis were also present. |
Urea and lysozyme secretion were dose dependent in all groups, suggesting that serous cell exocytosis was one source of urea after neural stimulation. |
Planar-supported membranes provide an interesting and very useful new approach to study the complex molecular machinery of exocytosis and membrane fusion. |
Calcium plays an important role in vesicular exocytosis and in turn in neurosecretion. |
