Interaction Information:
Comment | The granules inside the pancreatic cells contain not only insulin but also ATP and ADP - their release is regulated by the activation of P2X2 receptor present on the beta-cells. Moreover, other molecules as 5-hydroxytryptamine, gamma-aminobutyric acid, glutamate and zinc are released together with ATP and may affect the autocrine secretion of insulin. |
