Abstract excerpt
The ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP channel) couples blood levels of glucose to insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells. KATP channel closure triggers a cascade of events that results in insulin release. Metabolically generated changes in the intracellular concentrations of adenosine nucleotides are integral to this regulation, with ATP and ADP closing the channel and MgATP and MgADP increasing channel...
