Human Gene Set: GOBP_DENSE_CORE_GRANULE_EXOCYTOSIS

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_DENSE_CORE_GRANULE_EXOCYTOSIS

Standard name GOBP_DENSE_CORE_GRANULE_EXOCYTOSIS
Systematic name M25407
Brief description The secretion of molecules (e.g. neuropeptides, insulin-related peptides or neuromodulators such as serotonin and dopamine) contained within a membrane-bounced dense core granule by fusion of the granule with the plasma membrane of a cell in response to increased cytosolic calcium levels.
