From Hyper- to Hypoinsulinemia and Diabetes: Effect of KCNH6 on Insulin Secretion

Summary: Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from islet β cells is mediated by KATP channels. However, the role of non-KATP K+ channels in insulin secretion is largely unknown. Here, we show that a non-KATP K+ channel, KCNH6, plays a key role in insulin secretion and glucose hemostasis in humans an...
