Abstract excerpt
The activation of ATP-sensitive K+ channels by protein kinase A in vascular smooth muscle is an important component of the action of vasodilators. In this study, we examine the molecular mechanisms of regulation of the cloned equivalent of this channel comprising the sulfonylurea receptor 2B and the inward rectifier 6.1 subunit (SUR2B/Kir6.1). Specifically, we focus on whether the channel is directly...
