ATP-sensitive potassium (K-ATP) channels are critical for the maintenance of glucose homeostasis. They are essential for glucose-stimulated insulin secretion from pancreatic beta-cells, contribute to the mechanisms by which hypoglycaemia stimulates glucagon release from pancreatic alpha-cells, and are involved in glucose uptake into skeletal muscle, glucose production and release from the liver, and feeding behaviour. Not surprisingly, loss- or gain-of-function mutations in K-ATP channel genes have profound effects, giving rise to congenital hyperinsulinaemia and neonatal diabetes respectively. This symposium review focuses on our current understanding of the role of the K-ATP channel in glucose homeostasis in health and disease.
