Abstract excerpt
Clonal rat pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells have been widely used to study the molecular mechanism of exocytosis. We have isolated variant PC12 subclones with deficiencies in stimulation-secretion coupling, by a single cell recloning, and investigated the defects. PC12-1G2 hardly released dopamine following high-K(+)-induced depolarization, but normal release was evoked by the Ca(2+)-ionophore, ionomycin. Fura-2...
