Explicit Theoretical Analysis of How the Rate of Exocytosis Depends on Local Control by Ca2+ Channels
Hormones and neurotransmitters are released from cells by calcium-regulated exocytosis, and local coupling between Ca2+ channels (CaVs) and secretory granules is a key factor determining the exocytosis rate. Here, we devise a methodology based on Markov chain models that allows us to obtain analytic...
