Abstract: | Exocytosis in pheochromocytoma cells was induced by electric stimulation. To chase the movement of vesicles by electric stimulation, dense-core secretory vesicles were visualized by expression of the fusion protein between neuropeptide Y and enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in these differentiated PC12 rat pheochromocytoma cells. When the cells were stimulated with constant voltage potential at –300 mV, the movement of dense-core secretory vesicles could be regulated. |
