The pancreatic ATP - sensitive potassium ( Katp ) channel is a critical regulator of beta - cell insulin secretion . Heterozygous activating mutations in the KCNJ11 gene , which encodes the Kir 6.2 subunit of the Katp channel , have been found to cause diabetes in the neonatal period or early infancy . This molecular study hypothesized that KCNJ11 mutations could present clinically as type 1 diabetes
