Altered expression of ion channels in hyperinsulinism
The ability of the pancreatic β-cell to secrete insulin in response to changes in glucose concentration is the cornerstone of glucose homeostasis. The β-cell couples glucose metabolism to electrical activity via the modulation of ion channel activity. Defects in β-cell ion channels can result in the...
