Calcium Oscillations in Pancreatic α-cells Rely on Noise and ATP-Driven Changes in Membrane Electrical Activity

In pancreatic α-cells, intracellular Ca(2+) ([Ca(2+)](i)) acts as a trigger for secretion of glucagon, a hormone that plays a key role in blood glucose homeostasis. Intracellular Ca(2+) dynamics in these cells are governed by the electrical activity of voltage-gated ion channels, among which ATP-sen...
