Abstract

Recently, in order to elucidate the role of rab3B in porosome, we have observed the incorporation of rab3B in the secretion of GH through porosome under confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). Transfected cells with GH-EYFP fusion protein and rab3B-ECFP fusion protein were observed under CLSM, which showed the colocalization of EYFP-GH and ECFP-rab3B in the budding configuration of secretory process. These structural and functional images of rab3B imply the incorporation of rab3B in the secretion of GH through porosome.
