11. She co-authored several works with Tischler concerning chromaffin cell proliferation in rats and humans. 12. Chromaffin cells also settle near the sympathetic ganglia, vagus nerve, paraganglia, and carotid arteries.13. The two exceptions mentioned above are postganglionic neurons of sweat glands and chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla. 14. Work in bovine chromaffin cells demonstrated that NCS-1 is also a modulator of neurotransmission in mammals. 15. VMAT1 is also responsible for transporting newly synthesized adrenaline from the cytosol back into chromaffin granules in preparation for release. 16. The subunit encoded by the KCNMB2 gene is expressed in various endocrine cells, including pancreas and adrenal chromaffin cells. 17. Catecholamines are produced mainly by the chromaffin cells of the adrenal medulla and the postganglionic fibers of the sympathetic nervous system. 18. Catecholamine secretion from chromaffin cells is particularly sensitive to L-type currents, associated with Ca v 1.3. 19. Calcium triggers the exocytosis of chromaffin granules and, thus, the release of adrenaline ( and noradrenaline ) into the bloodstream. 20. In lower concentrations, extra-adrenal chromaffin cells also reside in the bladder wall, prostate, and behind the liver.
