A K-CHANNEL inhibited by intracellular ATP was first described in cardiac muscle [1]. It has
since become clear that such channels (K-ATP channels) occur also in other tissues as a
heterogeneous family and provide a means of linking cellular metabolism to electrical
activity in the plasma membrane.
