Research Abstract |
Present studies in chromaffin cells revealed that vesicle recruitment for exocytosis from the reserve pool to the releasable pool is a process with the intracellular translocation of the vesicles which affect the spatial localization of vesicles. Roles of Myosin V as a motor protein, and of actin filaments as rails for this recruitment were also shown.
