Activation of Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptors Augments Calcium Channel-mediated Exocytosis in Rat Pheochromocytoma (PC12) Cells
The functional effect of activating Ca2+-permeable neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs) on vesicle secretion was studied in PC12 cells. Single cells were patch-clamped in the whole-cell configuration and stimulated with either brief pulses of nicotine to activate the Ca2+-permeable nA...
