K(ATP) channels and islet hormone secretion: new insights and controversies.

ATP-sensitive potassium channels (K(ATP) channels) link cell metabolism to electrical activity by controlling the cell membrane potential. They participate in many physiological processes but have a particularly important role in systemic glucose homeostasis by regulating hormone secretion from panc...
