Difference between ATP-sensitive potassium channel and Action potential

ATP-sensitive potassium channel vs. Action potential

An ATP-sensitive potassium channel (or KATP channel) is a type of potassium channel that is gated by intracellular nucleotides, ATP and ADP. In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Similarities between ATP-sensitive potassium channel and Action potential

ATP-sensitive potassium channel and Action potential have 16 things in common (in Unionpedia): Beta cell, Cardiac muscle cell, Cell membrane, Cell nucleus, Depolarization, Exocytosis, Heart arrhythmia, Insulin, Ion transporter, Membrane potential, Pancreas, Potassium channel, Resting potential, Sarcolemma, Sympathetic nervous system, Transcription (biology).

Beta cell

Beta cells (β cells) are a type of cell found in the pancreatic islets of the pancreas.

Cardiac muscle cell

Cardiac muscle cells or cardiomyocytes (also known as myocardiocytes or cardiac myocytes) are the muscle cells (myocytes) that make up the cardiac muscle (heart muscle).

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates the interior of all cells from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

Cell nucleus

In cell biology, the nucleus (pl. nuclei; from Latin nucleus or nuculeus, meaning kernel or seed) is a membrane-enclosed organelle found in eukaryotic cells.

Depolarization

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell.

Exocytosis

Exocytosis is a form of active transport in which a cell transports molecules (e.g., neurotransmitters and proteins) out of the cell (exo- + cytosis) by expelling them through an energy-dependent process.

Heart arrhythmia

Heart arrhythmia (also known as arrhythmia, dysrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat) is a group of conditions in which the heartbeat is irregular, too fast, or too slow.

Insulin

Insulin (from Latin insula, island) is a peptide hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets; it is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.

Ion transporter

In biology, an ion transporter (or ion pump) is a transmembrane protein that moves ions across a plasma membrane against their concentration gradient through active transport.

Membrane potential

The term "membrane potential" may refer to one of three kinds of membrane potential.

Pancreas

The pancreas is a glandular organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates.

Potassium channel

Potassium channels are the most widely distributed type of ion channel and are found in virtually all living organisms.

Resting potential

The relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called the resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the specific dynamic electrochemical phenomena called action potential and graded membrane potential.

Sarcolemma

The sarcolemma (sarco (from sarx) from Greek; flesh, and lemma from Greek; sheath) also called the myolemma, is the cell membrane of a striated muscle fiber cell.

Sympathetic nervous system

The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is one of the two main divisions of the autonomic nervous system, the other being the parasympathetic nervous system.

Transcription (biology)

Transcription is the first step of gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA (especially mRNA) by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

ATP-sensitive potassium channel and Action potential Comparison

ATP-sensitive potassium channel has 57 relations, while Action potential has 263. As they have in common 16, the Jaccard index is 5.00% = 16 / (57 + 263).
