Abstract excerpt
The ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel in pancreatic islet beta cells consists of four pore-forming (Kir6.2) subunits and four regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SUR1) subunits. In beta cells, the K(ATP) channel links intracellular metabolism to the dynamic regulation of the cell membrane potential that triggers insulin secretion. Syntaxin 1A (Syn-1A) is a SNARE protein that not only plays a direct role in...
