Abstract excerpt
ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels modulate their activity as a function of inhibitory ATP and stimulatory Mg-nucleotides. They are constituted by two proteins: a pore-forming K(+) channel subunit (Kir6.1, Kir6.2) and a regulatory sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) subunit, an ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter that confers MgADP stimulation to the channel. Channel regulation by MgADP is dependent on nucleotide...
