How can you use “exocytosis” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

In primates SPAM1 has been shown to play a role in three functions during fertilization: (1) hyaluronidase enzyme activity necessary for penetrating the cumulus [ 3 ] and for which it is best known [ 4 ] , (2) zona pellucida binding [ 3 ] , and (3) Ca 2+signaling-associated acrosomal exocytosis [ 5 6 7 ] .
Thus the Mint proteins serve to anchor Munc-18 to the neurexins and thereby facilitate exocytosis.
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the CFTR chloride channel [ 1 ] . CFTR is known to possess multiple cellular functions beyond its role as an apical membrane chloride channel [ 2 ] . For example, regulation of other ion channels, such as the epithelial sodium channel and the outwardly rectified chloride channel, are well-described functions of CFTR [ 3 4 ] . Numerous other functions, such as regulation of intracellular vesicular pH, regulation of membrane recycling, and regulation of mucin exocytosis are less firmly established.
Elevation of intracellular Ca 2+([Ca 2+] i ) accelerates exocytosis of insulin granules.
Mint2 functions as a neuronal adaptor protein that binds to the Munc18-1 protein, which is essential for synaptic vesicle exocytosis [ 23 ] . Biederer and Südhof have shown that a multiprotein complex containing Mint1 (APBA1) binds to the cytoplasmic tail of neurexins, which play a critical role in synaptic vesicle exocytosis.
