Protein kinase D (PKD) family members (PKD1, 2, and 3) have been identified as important regulators of secretory transport at the trans-Golgi network: PKD1 contributes to stimulated NT secretion. [1]
Positive GIP cells contained large round, or sometimes irregular, electron-dense, secretory granules, many of these possessed the characteristic dense centralcores, surrounded by a lighter matrix. On the basis of the characteristic appearance of the granules, the cells were identified as K cells. [2]
