Abstract excerpt
The pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel, a complex of four sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) and four potassium channel Kir6.2 subunits, regulates insulin secretion by linking metabolic changes to beta-cell membrane potential. Sulfonylureas inhibit K(ATP) channel activities by bindin...
