The Mitochondrial Na+/Ca2+ Exchanger Upregulates Glucose Dependent Ca2+ Signalling Linked to Insulin Secretion

Mitochondria mediate dual metabolic and Ca2+ shuttling activities. While the former is required for Ca2+ signalling linked to insulin secretion, the role of the latter in β cell function has not been well understood, primarily because the molecular identity of the mitochondrial Ca2+ transporters wer...
