Several recent reports, including one in this journal, have reignited the debate about
whether the calcium-mobilizing messenger, nicotinic adenine nucleotide diphosphate
(NAADP) plays a central role in the regulation of calcium signalling in pancreatic β-cell. 1-5
These studies have highlighted a role for NAADP-induced Ca2+ mobilization not only in
mediating the effects of the incretin, GLP-1 and the autocrine proliferative effects of insulin,
but also possibly a fundamental role in glucose-mediated insulin secretion in the pancreatic …
