Ligand binding and conformational changes of SUR1 subunit in pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channels
Abstract ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP) are energy sensors on the plasma membrane. By sensing the intracellular ADP/ATP ratio of β-cells, pancreatic KATP channels control insulin release and regulate metabolism at the whole body level. They are implicated in many metabolic disorders and dis...
