Inhibition mechanism of pancreatic KATP channels by centipede toxins
2025-10-27
Abstract excerpt
The pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel acts as a crucial metabolic sensor by regulating insulin secretion to maintain whole-body energy homeostasis. Gain-of-functional mutations in this channel lead to neonatal diabetes mellitus, a rare disorder in which certain mutants demonstrate resistance to standard sulfonylurea therapy. Recent studies have identified a centipede toxin, SpTx1, as a potent inhib...
