Mechanism of action of a sulphonylurea receptor SUR1 mutation (F132L) that causes DEND syndrome.

Activating mutations in the genes encoding the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel subunits Kir6.2 and SUR1 are a common cause of neonatal diabetes. Here, we analyse the molecular mechanism of action of the heterozygous mutation F132L, which lies in the first set of transmembrane helices (TMD0)...
