Importantly, granule contents are also released according to a hierarchy, with secretory granules being the most readily exocytosed and azurophil granules only undergoing partial exocytosis [38].

Subsequent studies showed that glucose-sensing mechanisms in the [beta]-cells are divided into the two components [70]: (1) Proximal events of glucose entry and metabolism, (2) the distal mechanisms of insulin secretion, spanning from mitochondrial signal generation and initiation of electrical activity to the ultimate effectors of [beta]-granule exocytosis.

AQP7 is expressed in pancreatic [beta]-cells and recently described as being involved in the regulation of insulin secretion and release by allowing the entry or exit of glycerol and by acting directly or indirectly at a distal downstream site in the insulin exocytosis pathway.
