Target type: biologicalprocess
Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of the regulated release of insulin that contributes to the response of a cell to glucose. [GOC:bf, GOC:yaf]
The positive regulation of insulin secretion in response to glucose stimulus is a complex and tightly regulated process involving a cascade of events that ultimately lead to the release of insulin from pancreatic beta cells.
1. **Glucose Uptake and Metabolism:** Glucose enters beta cells through the GLUT2 transporter. Once inside, it undergoes glycolysis and enters the citric acid cycle, generating ATP.
2. **ATP-sensitive Potassium Channel Closure:** Increased intracellular ATP levels bind to and close ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in the plasma membrane. This closure reduces potassium efflux, leading to membrane depolarization.
3. **Voltage-gated Calcium Channel Opening:** Membrane depolarization opens voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), allowing calcium ions (Ca2+) to flow into the cell.
4. **Insulin Exocytosis:** The rise in intracellular Ca2+ triggers the fusion of insulin-containing secretory granules with the plasma membrane, releasing insulin into the bloodstream.
5. **AMPK Activation:** AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is activated by glucose, leading to the phosphorylation of various proteins, including transcription factors, which regulate the expression of genes involved in insulin secretion.
6. **Other Signaling Pathways:** Additional signaling pathways are involved in the regulation of insulin secretion, such as the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway and the protein kinase C (PKC) pathway.
7. **Insulin Feedback Loop:** Insulin released from beta cells acts on its receptor in the cell, initiating a negative feedback loop that helps regulate the further release of insulin.
This intricate process ensures that insulin is secreted only when needed, maintaining glucose homeostasis in the body.'
