Sequence variations in the human Kir6.2 gene, a subunit of the beta-cell ATP-sensitive K-channel: no association with NIDDM in while Caucasian subjects or evidence of abnormal function when expressed in vitro.
The ATP-sensitive K-channel plays a central role in insulin release from pancreatic beta cells. This channel consists of two subunits: a sulphonyl-urea receptor, SUR1, and an inwardly rectifying K-channel subunit, Kir6.2. We screened 135 white Caucasian patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes m...
