Abstract
Adrenomedullary chromaffin cells release catecholamines in response to the intracellular calcium rise upon stimulation by different secretagogues. The presence of syntaxin 1, a protein presumably involved in docking of synaptic vesicles to presynaptic membranes, has been investigated in chromaffin cells. The study using two different monoclonal antibodies shows that syntaxin 1 is present in the chromaffin cell membrane fraction. Functional experiments demonstrate that anti-syntaxin antibodies inhibit calcium-dependent secretion in permeabilized cells. These results suggest that syntaxin 1 is an important component of the secretory machinery in chromaffin cells.Entities:
