27 May 2019
Abstract excerpt
Ion channels and transporters play essential roles in excitable cells including cardiac, skeletal and smooth muscle cells, neurons, and endocrine cells. In pancreatic beta-cells, for example, potassium KATP channels link the metabolic signals generated inside the cell to changes in the beta-cell membrane potential, and ultimately regulate insulin secretion. Mutations in the genes encoding some ion transporter and...
