Intrinsic sensitivity of Kir1.1 (ROMK) to glibenclamide in the absence of SUR2B. Implications for the identity of the renal ATP-regulated secretory K+ channel.

The precise molecular identity of the renal ATP-regulated secretory K+ channel is still a matter of some controversy. The inwardly rectifying K+ channel, Kir1.1 (ROMK) appears to form the pore of the channel, and mutations in Kir1.1 are responsible for Bartter syndrome. The native channel is sensiti...
