Describe the process of insulin being released. |
Increasing glucose levels bind to GLUT2 receptors on beta cells, which causes intake of the glucose. It is then converted to ATP, which binds to ATP-sensitive potassium ion channels and causes them to close, thus depolarizing the cell and causing an influx of calcium. This makes the beta cells release insulin and amylin via exocytosis. |
Glucose, potassium, calcium, insulin, and amylin. |
