Term Name: calcium-ion regulated exocytosis
Synonyms: calcium ion-dependent exocytosis
Definition: The release of intracellular molecules (e.g. hormones, matrix proteins) contained within a membrane-bounded vesicle by fusion of the vesicle with the plasma membrane of a cell, induced by a rise in cytosolic calcium-ion levels.
