Abstract excerpt
ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP) are inwardly-rectifying potassium channels, broadly expressed throughout the body. KATP is regulated by adenine nucleotides, characteristically being activated by falling ATP and rising ADP levels thus playing an important physiological role by coupling cellular metabolism with membrane excitability. The hetero-octameric channel complex is formed of 4 pore-forming inward rectifier...
