Abstract excerpt
ATP-sensitive K-channels (K(ATP) channels) are the target for K(ATP)-channel openers (KCOs), such as pinacidil and P1075. These channels are formed from pore-forming Kir6.2 and regulatory sulfonylurea receptors (SUR2A in heart and skeletal muscle; SUR2B in smooth muscle). The two isoforms of SUR2 differ only in their final 42 amino acids, a region that includes neither the Walker A and B nucleotide binding motifs...
