Abstract excerpt
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are uniquely evolved protein complexes that couple cell energy levels to cell excitability. They govern a wide range of physiological processes including hormone secretion, neuronal transmission, vascular dilation, and cardiac and neuronal preconditioning against ischemic injuries. In pancreatic β-cells, KATP channels composed of Kir6.2 and SUR1, encoded by KCNJ11 and...
