Cell secretion or exocytosis is a fundamental and ubiquitous cell function in which intracellular vesicles (50-100 nm in diameter) fuse with the plasma membrane and release their content into the extracellular space. Constitutive exocytosis occurs constantly as a housekeeping activity to release pro...
