K(ATP) channels and insulin secretion: a key role in health and disease.
- Abstract:
-
This review summarizes advances in our understanding of the structure and function of the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel of the pancreatic beta-cell that have been made over the last 5 years. It discusses recent structural studies of the octameric K(ATP) channel complex and studies of the regulation of K(ATP) channel activity by nucleotides. It then considers the molecular mechanism by which gain-of-function mutations in the Kir6.2 subunit of the K(ATP) channel reduce channel inhibi...
