Solutions

Expert Solution

Correct order of insulin secretion

1) F) Glucose enters the cell

2) A) Cytosolic ATP levels rise

3) E) K+ channel closes

4) C) membrane depolarization

5) B) Cytosolic Ca2+ levels rise.

6) D) insulin secretory vesicles fuse with plasma membrane.

  • As Blood glucose increases ,there is a resultant flux of glucose through GLUT transporters in the beta cells.
  • Subsequently, within the beta cells, glucose is phosphorylated to glucose - 6-phosphate  by glucokinase enzyme , which is the rate limiting step in insulin pathway.
  • This glucose-6-phosphate is metabloized in mitochondria producing ATP, hence cytosolic level of ATP increses
  • Increased level of ATP binds and closes ATP dependent potassium channels, channel closure blocks potassium exits from the Beta cell ,which causes membrane depolarization
  • Once the cell is depolarized , L-type voltage gated calcium channel are triggered and calcium channels are triggered, resultant influx of calcium and increased cellular calcium concentration.
  • Increased cytoplasmic calcium concentration leads to release of insulin and C peptide from a pool of insulin-containing docked secretory vesicles and migration of additional vesicles to membrane.
