Our findings suggest that the NF-kappaB, p38 MAPK, and PKC signal pathways are partially involved in the upregulation of KATP subunits Kir6.2/SUR1 expression induced by Abeta1-42 cytotoxicity in neurons, which supports a potential theoretical basis of targeting these signal pathways in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.
Title: Aβ1-42 increases the expression of neural KATP subunits Kir6.2/SUR1 via the NF-κB, p38 MAPK and PKC signal pathways in rat primary cholinergic neurons.
Up-regulation of the KATP channel accelerates repolarization and shortens action potential duration during stress and exercise.
Title: Effects of regular exercise on ventricular myocyte biomechanics and K(ATP) channel function.
Intricate interactions between TMD0, the loop following TMD0, and Kir6.2 near the proposed PIP2 binding site, and where ATP density is observed, suggest SUR1 may contribute to ATP and PIP2 binding to enhance Kir6.2 sensitivity to both.
Title: Cryo-EM structure of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel illuminates mechanisms of assembly and gating.
The E23K variant of the KATP channel increased the susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmia under acute ischemia stress.
Title: The E23K variant of the Kir6.2 subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel increases susceptibility to ventricular arrhythmia in response to ischemia in rats.
both Kir6.1(V65M) and Kir6.2(V64M) mutations essentially abolish high-affinity sensitivity to the KATP blocker glibenclamide in both intact cells and excised patches. This raises the possibility that, at least for some CS mutations, sulfonylurea therapy may not prove to be successful and highlights the need for detailed pharmacogenomic analyses of CS mutations.
Title: Conserved functional consequences of disease-associated mutations in the slide helix of Kir6.1 and Kir6.2 subunits of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel.
Data show that sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive K+ (sarcKATP) channel mutant subunit Kir6.2AAA transfection inhibited the channel activity and significantly aggravated the apoptosis of myocytes induced by lipopolysaccharides (LPS).
Title: Sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive potassium channel protects cardiac myocytes against lipopolysaccharide-induced apoptosis.
Electrophysiological studies employing SUR2A/Kir6.2-expressing HEK cells showed that increasing endogenous or exogenous Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate diminished the inhibitory effect of Syn-1A on KATP currents.
Title: Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2) modulates syntaxin-1A binding to sulfonylurea receptor 2A to regulate cardiac ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels.
Findings suggest that Kir6.2 expression in the spinal cord is reduced in bone cancer pain and activation of Kir6.2 at the spinal level reduces pain hypersensitivity associated with bone cancer pain
Title: Role of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in modulating nociception in rat model of bone cancer pain.
PIP2 affects islet beta-cell KATP channels not only by its actions on Kir6.2 but also by sequestering Syn-1A to modulate Syn-1A availability and its interactions with SUR1 on PM.
Title: Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-biphosphate (PIP2) modulates interaction of syntaxin-1A with sulfonylurea receptor 1 to regulate pancreatic β-cell ATP-sensitive potassium channels.
Kir6.2 plays a central role in ischemic preconditioning and calcium and mitochondrial homeostasis during stress, and the impact of decreasing channel number is deleterious to myocyte survival.
Title: Kir6.2 limits Ca(2+) overload and mitochondrial oscillations of ventricular myocytes in response to metabolic stress.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
