Expression of ATP-sensitive K+ channel subunits during perinatal maturation in the mouse heart.

Prevailing data suggest that sarcolemmal ATP-sensitive (K(ATP)) channels in the adult heart consist of Kir6.2 and SUR2A subunits, but the expression of other K(ATP) channel subunits (including SUR1, SUR2B, and Kir6.1) is poorly defined.
