Abstract excerpt
Mutations in the sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1), a subunit of ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels, cause familial hyperinsulinism. One such mutation, deletion of phenylalanine 1388 (DeltaPhe-1388), leads to defects in both trafficking and MgADP response of K(ATP) channels. Here we investigated the biochemical features of Phe-1388 that control the proper trafficking and function of K(ATP) channels by...
