Dynamic changes in β-cell electrical activity and [Ca <sup>2+</sup> ] regulates NFATc3 activation and downstream gene transcription
2020-06-29
Abstract excerpt
Diabetes results from insufficient insulin secretion as a result of dysfunction to β-cells within the islet of Langerhans. Elevated glucose causes β-cell membrane depolarization and action potential generation, voltage gated Ca 2+ channel activation and oscillations in free-Ca 2+ activity ([Ca 2+ ]), triggering insulin release. Nuclear Factor of Activated T-cell (NFAT) is a transcription factor that is regulate...
