Phentolamine block of KATP channels is mediated by Kir6.2.
The ATP-sensitive K+-channel (KATP channel) plays a key role in insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. It is closed both by glucose metabolism and the sulfonylurea drugs that are used in the treatment of noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, thereby initiating a membrane depolarization that...
