KATP channels and cardioprotection [PDF]

open access: yesArhiv za farmaciju
This review discusses ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, which connect intracellular energy metabolism to cellular electrical activity and play crucial roles in various physiological processes, particularly in the pancreas and cardiovascular system.

Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) acutely alters ionic currents but does not increase cardiac cell death

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology
BackgroundTrimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) is a product of the action of gut microbiota on choline and other choline-containing compounds ingested in the diet.

Structure and function of potassium and calcium channels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
In this thesis, potassium channels human Kv2.1 and rat Kv2.1, along with calcium channels Ca, 1.2, Ca, 3.1, and chimeras have been studied. These channels were expressed in Xenopuso ocytesf or electrophysiological experiments using two electrode voltage

ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels: Structures, Functions, and Pathophysiology

open access: yesThe Japanese Journal of Physiology, 1998
ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels) play important roles in various tissues by coupling cell metabolic status to electrical activity. Recently, molecular biological and electrophysiological techniques have revealed the molecular basis of the KATP channels to be a complex of the Kir6.0 subunit, a member of the inwardly rectifying K+ channel

Study of a glycine hinge in ATP-sensitive potassium channels

open access: yes, 2023
Potassium channels regulate cell excitability by gating K⁺ flux through transmembrane pores. Inward rectifier (Kir) channels, including ATP-sensitive K⁺ (KATP) channels, rely on TM2 flexibility for gating, hypothesized to involve a glycine hinge.

ATP-sensitive potassium channels in smooth muscle cells from guinea pig urinary bladder

open access: yes, 1993
We explored the possibility that ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels exist in urinary bladder smooth muscle, since synthetic openers (e.g., lemakalim) of K(ATP) channels in other tissues relax bladder smooth muscle.

What have we learned from two-pore potassium channels? Their molecular configuration and function in the human heart

open access: yes, 2012
Two-pore domain potassium channels (K2P) control excitability, stabilize the resting membrane potential below firing threshold, and accelerate repolarisation in different cells.

The pharmacology of hSK1 Ca2+-activated K+ channels expressed in mammalian cell lines.

open access: yes, 2000
The pharmacology of hSK1, a small conductance calcium-activated potassium channel, was studied in mammalian cell lines (HEK293 and COS-7). In these cell types, hSK1 forms an apamin-sensitive channel with an IC(50) for apamin of 8 nM in HEK293 cells and ...

Evidence for functional ATP-sensitive (K(ATP)) potassium channels in human and equine articular chondrocytes.

open access: yes, 2020
OBJECTIVE: Chondrocytes are highly sensitive to variations in extracellular glucose and oxygen levels in the extracellular matrix. As such, they must possess a number of mechanisms to detect and respond to alterations in the metabolic state of cartilage.
