K(ATP) channels and insulin secretion disorders Huopio H; Shyng SL; Otonkoski T; Nichols CGAm J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 2002[Aug]; 283 (2): E207-16ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are inhibited by intracellular ATP and activated by ADP. Nutrient oxidation in beta-cells leads to a rise in [ATP]-to-[ADP] ratios, which in turn leads to reduced K(ATP) channel activity, depolarization, voltage-dependent Ca(2+) channel activation, Ca(2+) entry, and exocytosis. Persistent hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy (HI) is a genetic disorder characterized by dysregulated insulin secretion and, although rare, causes severe mental retardation and epilepsy if left untreated. The last five or six years have seen rapid advance in understanding the molecular basis of K(ATP) channel activity and the molecular genetics of HI. In the majority of cases for which a genotype has been uncovered, causal HI mutations are found in one or the other of the two genes, SUR1 and Kir6.2, that encode the K(ATP) channel. This article will review studies that have defined the link between channel activity and defective insulin release and will consider implications for future understanding of the mechanisms of control of insulin secretion in normal and diseased states.|Adenosine Triphosphate/*physiology[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Endocrine System Diseases/*metabolism[MESH]|Finland/epidemiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Hyperinsulinism/complications/congenital/epidemiology/genetics[MESH]|Hypoglycemia/etiology[MESH]|Incidence[MESH]|Infant, Newborn[MESH]|Insulin Secretion[MESH]|Insulin/*metabolism[MESH]|Mutation[MESH]|Potassium Channels/genetics/*metabolism[MESH] |
