Background
The human KCNJ11 gene encodes the pore-forming subunit of heteromeric Kir6.2/SUR2A, an ATP-sensitive, inwardly rectifyiing potassium channel. ABCC9 encodes the SUR2A subunit which confers sulfonylurea sensitivity. Kir6.2/SUR2A channels expressed in heart are therapeutic targets for cardiac ischemia.
