The distribution and function of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel subunit Kir6.1 in cardiac and skeletal muscle cell lines. [PDF]
, 2007 ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KAtp) are present in the plasma membrane of a number of tissues but are also present on endomembranes such as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and mitochondria.

Activation of KATP channels in pain modulation: a systematic review of preclinical studies
Frontiers in PhysiologyObjectiveTo systematically review the involvement of KATP channel activation in pain modulation in preclinical studies.BackgroundKATP channels are expressed at several levels in the spinal and trigeminal pain pathways, where they seem to modulate ...

Glimepiride, a novel sulfonylurea, does not abolish myocardial protection afforded by either ischemic preconditioning or diazoxide [PDF]
, 2001 Background: The sulfonylurea glibenclamide (Glib) abolishes the cardioprotective effect of ischemic preconditioning (IP), presumably by inhibiting mitochondrial KATP channel opening in myocytes. Glimepiride (Glim) is a new sulfonylurea reported to affect

A New Case of Lethal Congenital Contracture Syndrome Type 3 With Hyperinsulinism and Optic Atrophy
Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.PIP5K1C‐related lethal congenital contracture syndrome with hyperinsulinism and optic atrophy. ABSTRACT Lethal congenital contracture syndrome 3 (LCCS3, MIM #611369) is a rare autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function (LOF) variants in PIP5K1C, reported in only two families to date.

Identification of putative potassium channel homologues in pathogenic protozoa [PDF]
, 2012 K(+) channels play a vital homeostatic role in cells and abnormal activity of these channels can dramatically alter cell function and survival, suggesting that they might be attractive drug targets in pathogenic organisms.

Structure based analysis of KATP channel with a DEND syndrome mutation in murine skeletal muscle
Scientific Reports, 2021 Developmental delay, epilepsy, and neonatal diabetes (DEND) syndrome, the most severe end of neonatal diabetes mellitus, is caused by mutation in the ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel.

The acute and chronic effects of local aerobic exercise on cardiovascular physiology
Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract Exercise training has beneficial effects for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Effects of exercise training have typically been studied in the form of whole‐body exercise training, partly driven by the assumption that larger effects of exercise training can be achieved by involving more and larger muscle groups.

Calcium‐activated chloride channels in pericytes and their role in regulating organ blood flow
The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.Abstract figure legend Pericytes are microvascular mural cells with diverse roles. Contractile pericytes directly regulate local perfusion, while non‐contractile pericytes coordinate upstream vascular contractility via propagating electrical signals.
