Kir6.2

(Redirected from IKATP)

Kir6.2 is a major subunit of the ATP-sensitive K+ channel, a lipid-gated inward-rectifier potassium ion channel.[5] The gene encoding the channel is called KCNJ11 and mutations in this gene are associated with congenital hyperinsulinism.[6]

Structure

edit

It is an integral membrane protein. The protein, which has a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into a cell rather than out of a cell, is controlled by G-proteins and is found associated with the sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) to constitute the ATP-sensitive K+ channel.

Pathology

edit

Mutations in this gene are a cause of congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI), an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by unregulated insulin secretion.[7] Defects in this gene may also contribute to autosomal dominant non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus type II (NIDDM).[5][8]
