The ATP-sensitive K+ (K+ATP) channel plays a key role in secretion of insulin in response to glucose-stimulation in pancreatic beta-cells. Inhibition of the channel does not require hydrolysis of ATP and results from a direct binding of ATP4- to the channel. MgADP relieves the channel inhibition by ATP by decreasing affinity of the channel to ATP. We suggest two-sites model regarding channel modulations by these nucleotides; one is the ATP-inhibition site which is bound by ATP4-, and the other the modulation site, which is bound by MgADP and thereby decreases the sensitivity of the channel to ATP. Sulphonylureas-binding sites may be different from these nucleotide-binding sites described above.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
