Title: Direct demonstration of sulphonylurea-sensitive KATP channels on nerve terminals of the rat motor cortex Lee K, Dixon AK, Rowe IC, Ashford ML, Richardson PJ Ref: British Journal of Pharmacology, 115:385, 1995 : PubMed
We examined whether ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are present on presynaptic terminals of the rat motor cortex, an area of the CNS exhibiting a high density of sulphonylurea binding. A novel fused nerve terminal preparation was developed which produced structures amenable to patch clamp methods. In inside-out recordings a K+ channel was observed which possessed all the major features of the Type 1 KATP channel, including sensitivity to ATP and the antidiabetic sulphonylureas.
