Interaction of vanadate with the cloned beta cell K(ATP) channel.

Vanadate is used as a tool to trap magnesium nucleotides in the catalytic site of ATPases. However, it has also been reported to activate ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels in the absence of nucleotides. K(ATP) channels comprise Kir6.2 and sulfonylurea receptor subunits (SUR1 in pancreatic be...
