Single-Channel Properties of the ROMK-Pore-Forming Subunit of the Mitochondrial ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel [PDF]
An increased flux of potassium ions into the mitochondrial matrix through the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (mitoKATP) has been shown to provide protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Structure of a Pancreatic ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel [PDF]
ATP-sensitive potassium channels ( K-ATP) couple intracellular ATP levels with membrane excitability. These channels play crucial roles in many essential physiological processes and have been implicated extensively in a spectrum of metabolic diseases and

THE SULPHONYLUREA RECEPTOR MAY BE AN ATP-SENSITIVE POTASSIUM CHANNEL
The stimulation of insulin secretion from the ß cells of the islets of Langerhans appears to be mediated by a decrease in the cell-membrane potassium-ion permeability.

Characterization of the zebrafish as a model of ATP-sensitive potassium channel hyperinsulinism [PDF]
Introduction Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is the leading cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infants. Current models to study the most common and severe form of HI resulting from inactivating mutations in the ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) are

GLP-1 Relaxes Rat Coronary Arteries by Enhancing ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel Currents [PDF]
GLP-1 is a new type of antidiabetic agent that possesses many beneficial effects. Although its cardiovascular actions have been widely examined, little is known about GLP-1’s effects on the rat coronary artery (RCA) or about the mechanisms underpinning ...

Kir6.1, a component of an ATP-sensitive potassium channel, regulates natural killer cell development [PDF]
IntroductionInvolved in immunity and reproduction, natural killer (NK) cells offer opportunities to develop new immunotherapies to treat infections and cancer or to alleviate pregnancy complications. Most current strategies use cytokines or antibodies to
