Islet primary cilia motility controls insulin secretion
2021-12-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Primary cilia are specialized cell-surface organelles that mediate sensory perception and, in contrast to motile cilia and flagella, are thought to lack motility function. Here we show that primary cilia in pancreatic beta cells exhibit movement that is required for glucose-dependent insulin secretion. Beta cell cilia contain motor proteins conserved from those found in classic motile cilia, and...
