Mechanism of pharmacochaperoning in a mammalian KATP channel revealed by cryo-EM
ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels composed of a pore-forming Kir6.2 potassium channel and a regulatory ABC transporter sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) regulate insulin secretion in pancreatic β-cells to maintain glucose homeostasis.

Glucagon-like peptide-1 derived cardioprotection does not utilize a KATP-channel dependent pathway: mechanistic insights from human supply and demand ischemia studies. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 (7-36) amide (GLP-1) protects against stunning and cumulative left ventricular dysfunction in humans. The mechanism remains uncertain but GLP-1 may act by opening mitochondrial K-ATP channels in a similar fashion to ...

Abstract Maternally inherited diabetes and deafness (MIDD) is a mitochondrial disorder usually caused by the variant m.3243A>G in the MT‐TL1 gene. We have proposed that diabetes in MIDD arises from a combination of insulin resistance and impaired β‐cell function that is more likely to occur in the presence of high skeletal muscle heteroplasmy and ...
