Abstract excerpt
ATP/ADP-sensing (sulfonylurea receptor (SUR)/K(IR)6)(4) K(ATP) channels regulate the excitability of our insulin secreting and other vital cells via the differential MgATP/ADP-dependent stimulatory actions of their tissue-specific ATP-binding cassette regulatory subunits (sulfonylurea receptors), which counterbalance the nearly constant inhibitory action of ATP on the K(+) inwardly rectifying pore. Mutations in...
