ATP-Sensitive potassium channels and their physiological and pathophysiological roles.

A Tinker, Q Aziz, Y Li, M Specterman - Compr Physiol, 2018 - qmro.qmul.ac.uk
ATP sensitive potassium channels (KATP) are so named because they open as cellular ATP
levels fall. This leads to membrane hyperpolarization and thus links cellular metabolism to …
