ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides DNAs of h.beta.IR and m.beta.IR, which are novel ATP-sensitive potassium channels being present specifically in the pancreatic cells, and proteins encoded by such DNAs, wherein by utilizing them, it is possible to produce said proteins in large quantities through the known genetic engineering techniques for use as a reagent in the research work as well as in the diagnosis and therapy for diabetes and other diseases.
