Insulin Secretion
- Molecular classification
- Biological Process, Physiological Process
01
Overview
Insulin secretion refers to the process by which pancreatic β-cells release insulin, a peptide hormone essential for glucose homeostasis. This process is tightly regulated and involves multiple steps, from insulin biosynthesis to its exocytosis in response to various physiological stimuli, primarily blood glucose levels. Dysregulation of insulin secretion leads to metabolic diseases such as diabetes mellitus.
