Abstract
A DNAase-inhibition assay was used to determine the proportions of globular (G-) and filamentous (F-) actin in islets of Langerhans after incubation in various conditions, or after subcellular fractionation. Stimulation of insulin secretion resulted in an ATP-dependent increase in the proportion of F-actin present; fractionation showed 80-90% of the actin to be present in the final supernatant.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
