... Granule formation The acinar cells of the exocrine pancreas synthesize 15 to 20 different digestive enzymes/isoenzymes at a constantly high rate and store them as a mixture in each individual zymogen granule (for review see Scheele and Kern, 1993 ). Some of these proteins have homologues in other...

.... Secretory granule formation in pancreatic acinar cells is one of the biological processes known to involve massive membrane flow. Thus, we have undertaken a morphometric study of the regranulation mechanism in the pancreatic acinar cells of the mutant mice, as a way of studying cellular membrane movement...

... are stored in the granules. Alternatively, there might be a mechanism that rapidly inactivates or binds chymase so that only the vasoamines will be free. mast cells granule formation degranulation piecemeal degranulation Mast cells play an important role in allergic syndromes. The cells...
