Osteopontin activates the diabetes-associated potassium channel TALK-1 in pancreatic β-cells

Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) relies on β-cell Ca(2+) influx, which is modulated by the two-pore-domain K(+) (K2P) channel, TALK-1. A gain-of-function polymorphism in KCNK16, the gene encoding TALK-1, increases risk for developing type-2 diabetes. While TALK-1 serves an important role...
