Inwardly rectifying K+ (Kir) channels allow K+ to move more easily into rather than out of the
cell. They have diverse physiological functions depending on their type and their location …

KATP channels are integral to the functions of many cells and tissues. The use of
electrophysiological methods has allowed for a detailed characterization of KATP channels …

The aim of this review is to provide basic information on the electrophysiological changes
during acute ischemia and reperfusion from the level of ion channels up to the level of …

The properties and roles of ATP-sensitive (KATP) and inwardly rectifying (KIR) potassium
channels are reviewed. Potassium channels regulate the membrane potential of smooth …

Since it became clear that K+ shifts with exercise are extensive and can cause more than a
doubling of the extracellular [K+]([K+] s) as reviewed here, it has been suggested that these …

A complementary DNA encoding an ATP-regulated potassium channel has been isolated by
expression cloning from rat kidney. The predicted 45K protein, which features two potential …

Abstract Aguilar-Bryan, Lydia, John P. Clement IV, Gabriela Gonzalez, Kumud Kunjilwar,
Andrey Babenko, and Joseph Bryan. Toward Understanding the Assembly and Structure of …

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 …

ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels link cellular metabolism to electrical activity in
nerve, muscle, and endocrine tissues. They are formed as a functional complex of two …

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP)–sensitive potassium (KATP) channels couple cell
metabolism to electrical activity. Phosphatidylinositol phosphates (PIPs) profoundly …
