Abstract
Insulin secretion from β-cells of the pancreatic islets of Langerhans is triggered by Ca2+ influx through voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels. Electrophysiological and molecular studies indicate that β-cells express several subtypes of these channels. This review discusses their roles in regulating insulin secretion, focusing on recent studies using β-cells, exogenous expression systems, and Ca2+ channel knockout mice. These investigations reveal...
