exocytosis /ˌɛksəʊsʌɪˈtəʊsɪs /noun [mass noun] BiologyA process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.Membrane fusion is a key event in many essential cell processes, such as exocytosis, endocytosis, membrane recycling, protein sorting and transport, fertilization, and cell division....- In the studies cited, only the intensity of fluorescence was used to observe the metabolism, exocytosis and phagocytosis of cells.
- Planar-supported membranes provide an interesting and very useful new approach to study the complex molecular machinery of exocytosis and membrane fusion.
Derivativesexocytotic /ˌɛksəʊsʌɪˈtɒtɪk/ adjective ...- Release of neurotransmitters and hormones from cells involves exocytotic fusion of secretory vesicles with the plasma membrane.
- In addition to factors regulating the fusion of exocytotic vesicles with the plasma membrane, postfusion events have attracted broad scientific interest.
- Can similar conformational transitions occur in vivo, for example, during exocytotic swelling of secretory granules or in a stretched fibronectin matrix?
