Mutations in KATP channel proteins can disrupt normal channel activity by altering gating or trafficking mechanisms. By examining the molecular effects of these mutations, this work advances understanding of how KATP channel structure governs function. These insights contribute to a clearer understanding of islet dysfunction and may support the development of targeted therapies aimed at improving KATP channel regulation. 000002201 540__ $$fCC BY 000002201 542__ $$fIn copyright - single owner 000002201 650__ $$aIon Channel Gating$$028538 000002201 650__ $$aStructure-Activity Relationship$$026484 000002201 650__ $$aDiabetes Mellitus, Type 2$$017675 000002201 650__ $$aPhysiology$$024123 000002201 650__ $$aGenetics$$019472 000002201 650__ $$aAdenosine Triphosphate$$014248 000002201 650__ $$aPotassium Channels$$028230 000002201 6531_ $$aphysiopathology 000002201 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000002201 692__ $$aDepartment of Physiology and Pharmacology$$041442 000002201 7001_ $$aLin, Yuwen$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000002201 7201_ $$aShyng, Show-Ling$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354$$7Personal$$eAdvisor 000002201 8564_ $$95c7d3229-ab46-4c40-a1bb-cf0bebb276c3$$s4966080$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/2201/files/2930_etd.pdf$$ePublic$$2c208d1e5df59ee27ab9be45c2a044831$$31 000002201 901__ $$a<p>These documents are archival records.
