Using chromaffin cells as a powerful model system for studying secretion, the authors study the regulatory role of complexin in secretion. Complexin is still enigmatic in its regulatory role, as it ...

In mammals, oxygen detection mechanisms have been extensively studied in erythropoietin-producing cells, chromaffin cells, bulbar and cortical neurons, pulmonary neuroepithelial cells, smooth muscle ...

The 2004 WHO classification of endocrine tumors defines pheochromocytoma as a tumor arising from catecholamine-producing chromaffin cells in the adrenal medulla -- an intra-adrenal paraganglioma.

Cells send electrical impulses throughout the body, but electrophysiologists struggled to tune into these signals until the ...

Abnormal growth of chromaffin cells, a type of nerve cell found throughout the body leads to paraganglioma also known as glomus jugulare tumor. It is a rare form of neuroendocrine tumor. These tumors ...

Nat Clin Pract Endocrinol Metab. 2007;3(2):92-102. Two further related recommendations arose from the discussion session on biochemical diagnosis: first, reference intervals for plasma and ...

多巴胺β羟化酶 （英语：Dopamine β-hydroxylase，简称DBH）是一种多巴胺转化为去甲肾上腺素的酶。 Dopamine is converted to norepinephrine by the enzyme dopamine β-hydroxylase. Ascorbic acid serves as a cofactor. Quick Facts 多巴胺β羟化酶, 已知的结构 ...

Disrupting the hydrophobic face of the amphipathic helix impairs the ability of the CpxII CTD to prevent premature release. (A, D) Primary sequences depicting the point mutations L124E-L128E (A) and ...

Dendritic spines compartmentalize calcium, and this could be their main function. We review experimental work on spine calcium dynamics. Calcium influx into spines is mediated by calcium channels ...
