Activating mutations in Kir6.2 and neonatal diabetes: new clinical syndromes, new scientific insights, and new therapy.

Closure of ATP-sensitive K(+) channels (K(ATP) channels) in response to metabolically generated ATP or binding of sulfonylurea drugs stimulates insulin release from pancreatic beta-cells.
