KATP channels modulate intrinsic firing activity of immature entorhinal cortex layer III neurons
Medial temporal lobe structures are essential for memory formation which is associated with coherent network oscillations. During ontogenesis, these highly organized patterns develop from distinct, less synchronized forms of network activity.

Skeletal muscle delimited myopathy and verapamil toxicity in SUR2 mutant mouse models of AIMS
ABCC9‐related intellectual disability and myopathy syndrome (AIMS) arises from loss‐of‐function (LoF) mutations in the ABCC9 gene, which encodes the SUR2 subunit of ATP‐sensitive potassium (KATP) channels.

Targeting SUR1/Abcc8-type neuroendocrine KATP channels in pancreatic islet cells. [PDF]
ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels play a regulatory role in hormone-secreting pancreatic islet α-, β- and δ-cells. Targeted channel deletion would assist analysis and dissection of the intraislet regulatory network.

Pyruvate kinase (PK) and the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) cycle play key roles in nutrient-stimulated KATP channel closure and insulin secretion. To identify the PK isoforms involved, we generated mice lacking β-cell PKm1, PKm2, and mitochondrial PEP ...

Norbormide is a toxicant selective for rats to which it induces a widespread vasoconstriction. In a recent paper, we hypothesized a role of ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels in norbormide-induced vasoconstriction.

BACKGROUND: Electrophysiological data suggest that cardiac KATP channels consist of Kir6.2 and SUR2A subunits, but the distribution of these (and other KATP channel subunits) is poorly defined.

Systemic Glucose Homeostasis Requires Pancreatic but Not Neuronal ATP-sensitive Potassium Channels
The adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels, composed of Kir6.2 and sulfonylurea receptor 1 (SUR1) subunits, are essential for glucose homeostasis.

Central KATP channels modulate glucose effectiveness in humans and rodents
Hyperglycemia is a potent regulator of endogenous glucose production (EGP). Loss of this ‘glucose effectiveness’ is a major contributor to elevated plasma glucose concentrations in type 2 diabetes (T2D).

AI-based discovery and cryoEM structural elucidation of a KATP channel pharmacochaperone
Pancreatic KATP channel trafficking defects underlie congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) cases unresponsive to the KATP channel opener diazoxide, the mainstay medical therapy for CHI. Current clinically used KATP channel inhibitors have been shown to act as

K(ATP) channel gene expression is induced by urocortin and mediates its cardioprotective effect
Background— Urocortin is a novel cardioprotective agent that can protect cardiac myocytes from the damaging effects of ischemia/reperfusion both in culture and in the intact heart and is effective when given at reperfusion.
