Abstract excerpt
The sulfonylurea receptor-2 (SUR2) is a subunit of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP)) in heart. Mice with the SUR2 gene disrupted (SUR2m) are constitutively protected from ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) cardiac injury. This was surprising because K(ATP), either sarcolemmal or mitochondrial or...
