Octameric Stoichiometry of the KATP Channel Complex
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 unrelated subunits-a member of the Kir inward rectifier potassium channel family, and a sulfonylurea receptor (SUR), a member of the ATP-binding cassette transporter family, which includes cystic fibrosis transmembrane co...
متن کاملChronic exposure to KATP channel openers results in attenuated glucose sensing in hypothalamic GT1-7 neurons
Individuals with Type 1 diabetes (T1D) are often exposed to recurrent episodes of hypoglycaemia. This reduces hormonal and behavioural responses that normally counteract low glucose in order to maintain glucose homeostasis, with altered responsiveness of glucose sensing hypothalamic neurons implicated. Although the molecular mechanisms are unknown, pharmacological studies implicate hypothalamic...
متن کاملLeptin-stimulated KATP channel trafficking
Insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells is initiated by the closure of ATP-sensitive K+ channels (KATP) in response to high concentrations of glucose, and this action of glucose is counteracted by the hormone leptin, an adipokine that signals through the Ob-Rb receptor to increase KATP channel activity. Despite intensive investigations, the molecular basis for KATP channel regulation remains ...
متن کاملHow ATP Inhibits the Open KATP Channel
ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are composed of four pore-forming Kir6.2 subunits and four regulatory SUR1 subunits. Binding of ATP to Kir6.2 leads to inhibition of channel activity. Because there are four subunits and thus four ATP-binding sites, four binding events are possible. ATP binds to both the open and closed states of the channel and produces a decrease in the mean open time...
متن کاملHypothalamic actions of neuromedin U.
The central nervous system and gut peptide neuromedin U (NMU) inhibits feeding after intracerebroventricular injection. This study explored the hypothalamic actions of NMU on feeding and the hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal axis. Intraparaventricular nucleus (intra-PVN) NMU dose-dependently inhibited food intake, with a minimum effective dose of 0.1 nmol and a robust effect at 0.3 nmol. Feeding in...
