Nitric oxide activates ATP-sensitive potassium channels in mammalian sensory neurons: action by direct S-nitrosylation

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>ATP-sensitive potassium (K<sub>ATP</sub>) channels in neurons regulate excitability, neurotransmitter release and mediate protection from cell-death. Furthermore, activation of K<sub>ATP </sub>channels is supp...
