Abstract excerpt
Mutations in Kir6.2, the pore-forming subunit of the KATP channel, that reduce the ability of ATP to block the channel cause neonatal diabetes. The stimulatory effect of MgATP mediated by the regulatory sulphonylurea receptor (SUR) subunit of the channel may also be modified. We compared the effect of the Kir6.2-F333I mutation on KATP channels containing SUR1, SUR2A or SUR2B. The open probability of Kir6.2/SUR1...
