Nicorandil-Induced Hyperkalemia in a Uremic Patient
Case Reports in Medicine, 2012 Nicorandil is an antianginal agent with nitrate-like and ATP-sensitive potassium channel activator properties. After activation of potassium channels, potassium ions are expelled out of the cells, which lead to membrane hyperpolarization, closure of ...

Expression of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in human pregnant myometrium
Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2011 Background Potassium channels play critical roles in the regulation of cell membrane potential, which is central to the excitability of myometrium. The ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel is one of the most abundant potassium channels in myometrium ...

Multidimensional Regulation of Cardiac Mitochondrial Potassium Channels
Cells, 2021 Mitochondria play a fundamental role in the energetics of cardiac cells. Moreover, mitochondria are involved in cardiac ischemia/reperfusion injury by opening the mitochondrial permeability transition pore which is the major cause of cell death.

ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels in the Cerebral Circulation [PDF]
Stroke, 2003 Background— In brain blood vessels, electrophysiological studies proving the existence of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K ATP ) are scarce. However, numerous pharmacological studies establish the importance of K ATP channels in these blood vessels ...

Ion Channel Dysfunction in Astrocytes in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Frontiers in Physiology, 2022 Astrocytes play an important role in the central nervous system (CNS). Ion channels in these cells not only function in ion transport, and maintain water/ion metabolism homeostasis, but also participate in physiological processes of neurons and glial ...

Anionic Phospholipids Activate ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels [PDF]
Journal of Biological Chemistry, 1997 The ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP) controls insulin release in pancreatic beta-cells and also modulates important functions in other cell types. In this study we report that anionic phospholipids activated KATP in pancreatic beta-cells, cardiac myocytes, skeletal muscle cells, and a cloned KATP composed of two subunits (SUR/Kir6.

The selectivity, voltage-dependence and acid sensitivity of the tandem pore potassium channel TASK-1 : contributions of the pore domains [PDF]
, 2007 We have investigated the contribution to ionic selectivity of residues in the selectivity filter and pore helices of the P1 and P2 domains in the acid sensitive potassium channel TASK-1.

Membrane trafficking of ATP-sensitive potassium channels [PDF]
, 2005 ATP-sensitive potassium (KATp) channels are known to play a vital role in the regulation of insulin secretion from pancreatic 0-cells. Changes in the ratio of [ATP]/[ADP] within the cell are known to regulate the activity of channels, but very little is ...
