Molecular structure and isoforms. a Two major Kir6.x isoforms (Kir6.1 and Kir 6.2) and three major SUR isoforms (SUR1, SUR2A and SUR 2B) have been identified. b Kir.x subunits combine tissue-specifically with different SUR subunits to form various native KATP channels. Pancreatic, cardiac and smooth muscle KATP channels are made up of Kir6.2/SUR1, Kir6.2/SUR2A and Kir6.1 (or Kir6.2)/SUR2B, respectively [2]. Kir, inwardly rectifying K+ channels; SUR, sulfonylurea receptor
