Abstract excerpt
The beta-cell ATP-sensitive K+ (K-ATP) channel has a major role in glucose-induced insulin secretion. Screening the entire coding sequence of the gene for a putative beta-cell K-ATP channel subunit, K-ATP2, with single-strand conformation polymorphism did not show any mutations associated with diabetes in white Caucasian diabetic patients, including five pedigrees with maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY),...
