Abstract excerpt
ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are evolutionarily conserved plasma-membrane protein complexes, widely represented in tissue beds with high metabolic activity. There, they are formed through physical association of the inwardly rectifying potassium channel pore, most typically Kir6.2, and the regulatory sulfonylurea receptor subunit, an ATP-binding cassette protein. Energetic signals, received via tight...
