Sulfonylurea receptor

The gene ABCC8 encodes the sulfonylurea receptor a component that regulates the potassium channel in pancreatic beta cells. Loss-of-function mutations and inhibition of the protein result in stimulation of the insulin secretion. Familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia is an autosomal recessive and less commonly dominant disorder. Gain-of-function mutations result in permanent or transient neonatal diabetes mellitus which is an autosomal recessive or dominant disorder.
