ATP sensitivity of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel in intact and permeabilized pancreatic beta-cells.

ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP) channels) couple cell metabolism to electrical activity and thereby to physiological processes such as hormone secretion, muscle contraction, and neuronal activity. However, the mechanism by which metabolism regulates K(ATP) channel activity, and the channel sensi...
