The control of insulin release from pancreatic beta cells helps ensure proper blood glucose level, which is critical for human health. Protein kinase C has been shown to be one key control mechanism for this process. After glucose stimulation, calcium influx into beta cells triggers exocytosis of insulin-containing dense-core granules and activates protein kinase C via calcium-dependentphospholipase C-mediated generation of diacylglycerol. Activated protein kinase C potentiates insulin release by enhancing the calcium sensitivity of exocytosis, likely by affecting two main pathways that could be linked: (1) the reorganization of the cortical actin network, and (2) the direct phosphorylation of criticalexocytotic proteins such as muncl8, SNAP25, and synaptotagmin. Here, we review what is currently known about the molecular mechanisms of protein kinase C action on each of these pathways and how these effects relate to the control of insulin release by exocytosis. We identify remaining challenges in the field and suggest how these challenges might be addressed to advance our understanding of the regulation of insulin release in health and disease.
