Abstract excerpt
Cardiac ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels, gated by cellular metabolism, are formed by association of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir6.2, the potassium conducting subunit, and SUR2A, the ATP-binding cassette protein that serves as the regulatory subunit. Kir6.2 is the principal site of ATP-induced channel inhibition, while SUR2A regulates K(+) flux through adenine nucleotide binding and...
