Abstract
OBJECTIVE Isoflurane is an extensively used inhalational anesthesia, and its carcinogenic or anti-cancerous effect has been identified recently. However, the specific role of isoflurane in cervical cancer remains unclear. AIM This study aimed to investigate the function of isoflurane in cervical cancer as well as the underlying mechanism. METHODS After isoflurane treatment, HeLa cell viability, percentage of apoptotic cells, expression of active caspase-3/9 were examined by CCK-8 assay, Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining, and Western blot analysis, respectively. ROS generation, ratio of NAD+/NADH, and ATP level after isoflurane stimulation were determined using commercial assay kits. Afterwards, activation of AMPK and autophagy was assessed through Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence. Whether AMPK mediated the isoflurane-induced apoptosis and autophagy was explored by adding an AMPK inhibitor (Compound C). The in vivo function of isoflurane was finally investigated on a HeLa cell xenograft model. RESULTS Isoflurane inhibited cell viability and induced apoptosis evidenced by upregulation of active caspase-3/9 in HeLa cells. Oxidative stress was triggered by isoflurane, as isoflurane elevated ROS level, and lowered ratio of NAD+/NADH and ATP level. Further results showed isoflurane activated the AMPK/mTOR pathway and induced autophagy. In addition, inhibition of AMPK led to ameliorated effects of isoflurane on apoptosis and autophagy. In vivo experiments proved isoflurane could repress tumorigenesis, activate AMPK, and induce autophagy in Xenograft mouse. CONCLUSIONS Isoflurane activated AMPK to inhibit proliferation and promote apoptosis and autophagy both in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The iron chelator Deferasirox (DFX) causes severe toxicity in patients for reasons that were previously unexplained. Here, using the kidney as a clinically relevant in vivo model for toxicity together with a broad range of experimental techniques, including live cell imaging and in vitro biophysical models, we show that DFX causes partial uncoupling and dramatic swelling of mitochondria, but without depolarization or opening of the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. This effect is explained by an increase in inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) permeability to protons, but not small molecules. The movement of water into mitochondria is prevented by altering intracellular osmotic gradients. Other clinically used iron chelators do not produce mitochondrial swelling. Thus, DFX causes organ toxicity due to an off-target effect on the IMM, which has major adverse consequences for mitochondrial volume regulation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The 2-chloro-N6-cyclopentyladenosine (CCPA) was proven to be a protective factor in ischemic reperfusion injury in myocardium and to reduce the infarct size in the heart. The purpose of this study was to determine whether flap necrosis could be reduced by intravenous administration of CCPA. METHODS Fifty-six male Wistar rats were divided into 4 experimental groups. An epigastric adipocutaneous flap was raised, and the area of flap necrosis was assessed for all groups on the fifth postoperative day with planimetry software. RESULTS The control group had a significantly lower rate of flap necrosis than the ischemic control group (p < .05). The nonischemic CCPA group had a significantly lower rate of flap necrosis than the nonischemic control group (p < .05). The ischemic CCPA group had a highly significant (p < .0001) rate of lower flap necrosis than the ischemic control group. CONCLUSION Our data show that reduction of flap necrosis can be achieved both with and without ischemic periods by intravenous administration of CCPA.

Abstract
Mitochondrial potassium channels in the brain have been suggested to have an important role in neuroprotection. The single channel activity of mitochondrial potassium channels was measured after reconstitution of the purified inner membrane from rat brain mitochondria into a planar lipid bilayer. In addition to a large conductance potassium channel that was described previously, we identified a potassium channel that has a mean conductance of 219 +/- 15 pS. The activity of this channel was inhibited by ATP/Mg(2+) and activated by the potassium channel opener BMS191095. Channel activity was not influenced either by 5-hydroxydecanoic acid, an inhibitor of mitochondrial ATP-regulated potassium channels, or by the plasma membrane ATP-regulated potassium channel blocker HMR1098. Likewise, this mitochondrial potassium channel was unaffected by the large conductance potassium channel inhibitor iberiotoxin or by the voltage-dependent potassium channel inhibitor margatoxin. The amplitude of the conductance was lowered by magnesium ions, but the opening ability was unaffected. Immunological studies identified the Kir6.1 channel subunit in the inner membrane from rat brain mitochondria. Taken together, our results demonstrate for the first time the single channel activity and properties of an ATP-regulated potassium channel from rat brain mitochondria.

Abstract
The cardioprotective effects of KR-31761, a newly synthesized K+(ATP) opener, were evaluated in rat models of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) heart injury. In isolated rat hearts subjected to 30-min global ischemia/30-min reperfusion, KR-31761 perfused prior to ischemia significantly increased both the left ventricular developed pressure (% of predrug LVDP: 17.8, 45.1, 54.2, and 62.6 for the control, 1 microM, 3 microM, and 10 microM, respectively) and double product (DP: heart rate x LVDP; % of predrug DP: 17.5, 44.9, 56.2, and 64.5 for the control, 1 microM, 3 microM, and 10 microM, respectively) at 30-min reperfusion while decreasing the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP). KR-31761 (10 microM) significantly increased the time to contracture during the ischemic period, whereas it concentration-dependently decreased the lactate dehydrogenase release during reperfusion. All these parameters were significantly reversed by 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD, 100 microM) and glyburide (1 microM), selective and nonselective blockers of the mitochondrial K+(ATP) (mitoK+(ATP)) channel and K+(ATP) channel, respectively. In anesthetized rats subjected to 30-min occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery/2.5-h reperfusion, KR-31761 administered 15 min before the onset of ischemia significantly decreased the infarct size (72.2%, 55.1%, and 47.1% for the control, 0.3 mg/kg, i.v., and 1.0 mg/kg, i.v., respectively); and these effects were completely and almost completely abolished by 5-HD (10 mg/kg, i.v.) and HMR-1098, a selective blocker of sarcolemmal K+(ATP) (sarcK+(ATP)) channel (6 mg/kg, i.v.) administered 5 min prior to KR-31761 (72.3% and 67.9%, respectively). KR-31761 only slightly relaxed methoxamine-precontracted rat aorta (IC50: > 30.0 microM). These results suggest that KR-31761 exerts potent cardioprotective effects through the opening of both mitoK+(ATP) and sarcK+(ATP) channels in rat hearts with a minimal vasorelaxant effect.

Abstract
Mitochondrial responses to ischemic stress play an important role in necrosis and apoptosis of brain cells. Recent studies using several different experimental preparations have shown that activation of ATP-sensitive potassium channels in mitochondria (mitoK(ATP) channels) is able to protect neurons and astroglia against injury and death. Thus, targeting of mitoK(ATP) channels appears to be a novel approach to neuroprotection. However, little is known about the mechanisms involved. The purpose of this review is to detail the current state of knowledge about this important, emerging area of investigation, and to provide suggestions for future studies.

Abstract
The margatoxin-sensitive Kv1.3 is the major potassium channel in the plasma membrane of T lymphocytes. Electron microscopy, patch clamp, and immunological studies identified the potassium channel Kv1.3, thought to be localized exclusively in the cell membrane, in the inner mitochondrial membrane of T lymphocytes. Patch clamp of mitoplasts and mitochondrial membrane potential measurements disclose the functional expression of a mitochondrial margatoxin-sensitive potassium channel. To identify unambiguously the mitochondrial localization of Kv1.3, we employed a genetic model and stably transfected CTLL-2 cells, which are genetically deficient for this channel, with Kv1.3. Mitochondria isolated from Kv1.3-reconstituted CTLL-2 expressed the channel protein and displayed an activity, which was identical to that observed in Jurkat mitochondria, whereas mitochondria of mock-transfected cells lacked a channel with the characteristics of Kv1.3. Our data provide the first molecular identification of a mitochondrial potassium conductance.

Abstract
Heart attacks, or acute myocardial infarctions (AMI), affect more than one million people in the US every year. The damage that occurs to the heart by AMI is often permanent and as a result, the morbidity and mortality rates of patients that experience AMIs continue to be high. Consequently, AMI patients are at significantly increased risks for future myocardial infarctions, decreased heart function, heart failure, and death [Heart and Stroke statistical update. In American Heart Association (2002) 4]. In this review, we discuss the events that lead to cardiac damage by AMI. Specifically, we discuss the current understanding of the role of ischemic damage vs. reperfusion damage, which is induced by the return of blood, oxygen, and nutrients to the organ. We also discuss the role of apoptosis and necrosis in cardiac damage, the means to protect the heart from damage by ischemia and reperfusion, and the role of protein kinase C in these processes.

Abstract
A mitochondrial sulphonylurea-sensitive, ATP-sensitive K+ channel (mitoKATP) that is selectively inhibited by 5-hydroxydecanoate (5-HD) and activated by diazoxide has been implicated in ischaemic preconditioning. Here we re-evaluate the evidence for the existence of this mitoKATP by measuring changes in light scattering (A520) in parallel with direct determination of mitochondrial matrix volumes using 3H2O and [14C]sucrose. Incubation of rat liver and heart mitochondria in KCl medium containing Mg2+ and inorganic phosphate caused a decrease in light scattering over 5 min, which was accompanied by a small (15-30 %) increase in matrix volume. The presence of ATP or ADP in the buffer from the start greatly inhibited the decline in A520, whilst addition after a period of incubation (1-5 min) induced a rapid increase in A520, especially in heart mitochondria. Neither response was accompanied by a change in matrix volume, as measured isotopically. However, the effects of ATP and ADP on A520 were abolished by carboxyatractyloside and bongkrekic acid, inhibitors of the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) that lock the transporter in two discrete conformations and cause distinct changes in A520 in their own right. These data suggest that rather than matrix volume changes, the effects of ATP and ADP on A520 reflect changes in mitochondrial shape induced by conformational changes in the ANT. Furthermore, we were unable to demonstrate either a decrease in A520 or increase in matrix volume with a range of ATP-sensitive K+ channel openers such as diazoxide. Nor did glibencamide or 5-HD cause any reduction of matrix volume, whereas the K+ ionophore valinomycin (0.2 nM), produced a 10-20 % increase in matrix volume that was readily detectable by both techniques. Our data argue against the existence of a sulphonylurea-inhibitable mitoKATP channel.

Abstract
ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channels are present in many tissues, including pancreatic islet cells, heart, skeletal muscle, vascular smooth muscle, and brain, in which they couple the cell metabolic state to its membrane potential, playing a crucial role in various cellular functions. The K(ATP) channel is a hetero-octamer comprising two subunits: the pore-forming subunit Kir6.x (Kir6.1 or Kir6.2) and the regulatory subunit sulfonylurea receptor SUR (SUR1 or SUR2). Kir6.x belongs to the inward rectifier K(+) channel family; SUR belongs to the ATP-binding cassette protein superfamily. Heterologous expression of differing combinations of Kir6.1 or Kir6.2 and SUR1 or SUR2 variant (SUR2A or SUR2B) reconstitute different types of K(ATP) channels with distinct electrophysiological properties and nucleotide and pharmacological sensitivities corresponding to the various K(ATP) channels in native tissues. The physiological and pathophysiological roles of K(ATP) channels have been studied primarily using K(ATP) channel blockers and K(+) channel openers, but there is no direct evidence on the role of the K(ATP) channels in many important cellular responses. In addition to the analyses of naturally occurring mutations of the genes in humans, determination of the phenotypes of mice generated by genetic manipulation has been successful in clarifying the function of various gene products. Recently, various genetically engineered mice, including mice lacking K(ATP) channels (knockout mice) and mice expressing various mutant K(ATP) channels (transgenic mice), have been generated. In this review, we focus on the physiological and pathophysiological roles of K(ATP) channels learned from genetic manipulation of mice and naturally occurring mutations in humans.

Abstract
The cessation of blood flow followed by a reperfusion period results in severe damages to cell structures. This induces a complex cascade of events involving, more particularly, a loss of energy, an alteration of ionic homeostasis promoting H(+) and Ca(2+) build up and the generation of free radicals. In this context, mitochondria are highly vulnerable and play a predominant role in the cell signaling leading from life to death. This is why, recently, efforts to find an effective therapy for ischemia-reperfusion injury have focused on mitochondria. This review summarizes the pharmacological strategies which are currently developed and the potential mitochondrial targets which could be involved in the protection of cells.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE N-Methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) elicits neuronally mediated cerebral arteriolar vasodilation that is reduced by ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). This sequence has been preserved by pretreatment with the ATP-sensitive potassium (K(ATP)) channel opener aprikalim, although the mechanism was unclear. In the heart, mitochondrial K(ATP) channels (mitoK(ATP)) are involved in the ischemic preconditioning-like effect of K(+) channel openers. We determined whether the selective mitoK(ATP) channel opener diazoxide preserves the vascular dilation to NMDA after I/R. METHODS Pial arteriolar diameters were determined with the use of closed cranial window/intravital microscopy in anesthetized piglets. Vascular responses to NMDA were assessed before and 1 hour after 10 minutes of global cerebral ischemia induced by raising intracranial pressure. Subgroups received 1 of the following pretreatments before I/R: vehicle; 1 to 10 micromol/L diazoxide; and coapplication of 100 micromol/L 5-hydroxydecanoic acid (5-HD), a K(ATP) antagonist with diazoxide. RESULTS NMDA-induced dose-dependent pial arteriolar dilation was not affected by diazoxide treatment only but was severely attenuated by I/R. In contrast, diazoxide dose-dependently preserved the NMDA vascular response after I/R; at 10 micromol/L, diazoxide arteriolar responses were unaltered by I/R. The effect of diazoxide was antagonized by coapplication of 5-HD with diazoxide. Percent preservation of 100 micromol/L NMDA-induced vasodilation after I/R was 53+/-19% (mean+/-SEM, n=8) in vehicle-treated controls versus 55+/-10%, 85+/-5%, and 99+/-15% in animals pretreated with 1, 5, and 10 micromol/L diazoxide (n=8, n=8, and n=12, respectively) and 60+/-15% in the group treated with 5-HD+diazoxide (n=5). CONCLUSIONS The mitoK(ATP) channel opener diazoxide in vivo preserves neuronal function after I/R, shown by pial arteriolar responses to NMDA, in a dose-dependent manner. Thus, activation of mitoK(ATP) channels may play a role in mediating the protective effect of other K(+) channel openers.

Abstract
Protein kinase C (PKC) is involved in the second messenger signaling cascade during ischemic and Ca(2+) preconditioning. Given that the pharmacological activation of mitochondrial ATP-sensitive K(+) (mitoK(ATP)) channels also mimics preconditioning, the mechanisms linking PKC activation and mitoK(ATP) channels remain to be established. We hypothesize that PKC activity is important for the opening of the mitoK(ATP) channel. To examine this, a specific opener of the mitoK(ATP) channel, diazoxide, was used in conjunction with subcellular distribution of PKC in a model of ischemia/reperfusion (I/R). Langendorff-perfused rat hearts were subjected to 40-minute ischemia followed by 30-minute reperfusion. Effects of activation of the mitoK(ATP) channel and other interventions on functional, biochemical, and pathological changes in ischemic hearts were assessed. In hearts treated with diazoxide, left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and coronary flow were significantly improved after I/R; lactate dehydrogenase release was also significantly decreased. The morphology was well preserved in diazoxide-treated hearts compared with nontreated ischemic control hearts. The salutary effects of diazoxide on the ischemic injury were similar to those of Ca(2+) preconditioning. Administration of sodium 5-hydroxydecanoate, an effective blocker of the mitoK(ATP) channel, or chelerythrine or calphostin C, an inhibitor of PKC, during diazoxide pretreatment or during continuous presence of diazoxide in the ischemic period, completely abolished the beneficial effects of the diazoxide on the I/R injury. Blockade of Ca(2+) entry during diazoxide treatment by inhibiting the L-type Ca(2+) channel with verapamil also completely reversed the beneficial effect of diazoxide during I/R. PKC-alpha was translocated to sarcolemma, whereas PKC-delta was translocated to the mitochondria and intercalated disc, and PKC-epsilon was translocated to the intercalated disc of the diazoxide-pretreated hearts. Colocalization studies for mitochondrial distribution with tetramethylrhodamine ethyl ester (TMRE) and PKC isoforms by immunoconfocal microscopy revealed that PKC-delta antibody specifically stained the mitochondria. ATP was significantly increased in the diazoxide-treated hearts. Moreover, the data suggest that activation and translocation of PKC to mitochondria appear to be important for the protection mediated by mitoK(ATP) channel.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects exerted by thiol-modifying reagents on themitochondrial sulfonylurea receptor. The thiol-oxidizing agents (timerosal and 5, 5'-dithio-bis(2-nitrobenzoic acid)) were found to produce a large inhibition (70% to 80%) of specific binding of [(3)H]glibenclamide to the beef heart mitochondrial membrane. Similar effects were observed with membrane permeable (N-ethylmaleimide) and non-permeable (mersalyl) thiol modifying agents. Glibenclamide binding was also decreased by oxidizing agents (hydrogen peroxide) but not by reducing agents (reduced gluthatione, dithiothreitol and the 2,3-dihydroxy-1,4-dithiolbutane). The results suggest that intact thiol groups, facing the mitochondrial matrix, are essential for glibenclamide binding to the mitochondrial sulfonylurea receptor.

Abstract
Discovered in the cardiac sarcolemma, ATP-sensitive K+ (KATP) channels have more recently also been identified within the inner mitochondrial membrane. Yet the consequences of mitochondrial KATP channel activation on mitochondrial function remain partially documented. Therefore, we isolated mitochondria from rat hearts and used K+ channel openers to examine the effect of mitochondrial KATP channel opening on mitochondrial membrane potential, respiration, ATP generation, Ca2+ transport, and matrix volume. From a mitochondrial membrane potential of -180 +/- 15 mV, K+ channel openers, pinacidil (100 microM), cromakalim (25 microM), and levcromakalim (20 microM), induced membrane depolarization by 10 +/- 7, 25 +/- 9, and 24 +/- 10 mV, respectively. This effect was abolished by removal of extramitochondrial K+ or application of a KATP channel blocker. K+ channel opener-induced membrane depolarization was associated with an increase in the rate of mitochondrial respiration and a decrease in the rate of mitochondrial ATP synthesis. Furthermore, treatment with a K+ channel opener released Ca2+ from mitochondria preloaded with Ca2+, an effect also dependent on extramitochondrial K+ concentration and sensitive to KATP channel blockade. In addition, K+ channel openers, cromakalim and pinacidil, increased matrix volume and released mitochondrial proteins, cytochrome c and adenylate kinase. Thus, in isolated cardiac mitochondria, KATP channel openers depolarized the membrane, accelerated respiration, slowed ATP production, released accumulated Ca2+, produced swelling, and stimulated efflux of intermembrane proteins. These observations provide direct evidence for a role of mitochondrial KATP channels in regulating functions vital for the cardiac mitochondria.

Abstract
Some compounds are known to induce solute-nonselective permeability of the inner mitochondrial membrane (IMM) in Ca2+-loaded mitochondria. Existing data suggest that this process, following the opening of a mitochondrial permeability transition pore, is preceded by different solute-selective permeable states of IMM. At pH 7, for instance, the K0.5 for Ca2+-induced pore opening is 16 microM, a value 80-fold above a therapeutically relevant shift of intracellular Ca2+ during ischemia in vivo. The present work shows that in the absence of Ca2+, phenylarsine oxide and tetraalkyl thiuram disulfides (TDs) are able to induce a complex sequence of IMM permeability changes. At first, these agents activated an electrogenic K+ influx into the mitochondria. This K+-specific pathway had K0.5 = 35 mM for K+ and was inhibited by bromsulfalein with Ki = 2.5 microM. The inhibitors of mitochondrial KATP channel, ATP and glibenclamide, did not inhibit K+ transport via this pathway. Moreover, 50 microM glibenclamide induced by itself K+ influx into the mitochondria. After the increase in K+ permeability of IMM, mitochondria become increasingly permeable to protons. Mechanisms of H+ leak and nonselective permeability increase could also be different depending on the type of mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) inducer. Thus, permeabilization of mitochondria induced by phenylarsine oxide was fully prevented by ADP and/or cyclosporin A, whereas TD-induced membrane alterations were insensitive toward these inhibitors. It is suggested that MPT in vivo leading to irreversible apoptosis is irrelevant in reversible ischemia/reperfusion injury.

Abstract
Pharmacological openers of mitochondrial ATP-dependent K+ (mitoKATP) channels mimic ischemic preconditioning, and such cardioprotection can be prevented by mitoKATP channel blockers. It is also known that protein kinase C (PKC) plays a key role in the induction and maintenance of preconditioning. To look for possible mechanistic links between these 2 sets of observations, we measured mitochondrial matrix redox potential as an index of mitoKATP channel activity in rabbit ventricular myocytes. The mitoKATP channel opener diazoxide (100 micromol/L) partially oxidized the matrix redox potential. Exposure to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA, 100 nmol/L) potentiated and accelerated the effect of diazoxide. These effects of PMA were blocked by the mitoKATP channel blocker 5-hydroxydecanoate, which we verified to be a selective blocker of the mitoKATP channel in simultaneous recordings of membrane current and flavoprotein fluorescence. The inactive control compound 4alpha-phorbol (100 nmol/L) did not alter the effects of diazoxide. We conclude that the activity of mitoKATP channels can be regulated by PKC in intact heart cells. Potentiation of mitoKATP channel opening by PKC provides a direct mechanistic link between the signal transduction of ischemic preconditioning and pharmacological cardioprotection targeted at ATP-dependent K+ channels.

Abstract
Antidiabetic sulfonylureas and potassium channel openers affect the activity of the ATP-regulated potassium channel (K(ATP) channel) present in the plasma membrane of various cells. This causes a broad spectrum of physiological responses, including the modulation of insulin release from pancreatic B-cells and the relaxation of smooth muscle. Recently, new targets for antidiabetic sulfonylureas and potassium channel openers were found in membranes of organelles, such as mitochondria and zymogen- and insulin-containing granules. By acting on these targets, the drugs modulate, independently of K(ATP) channel activity, insulin release from pancreatic B-cells, and they regulate K+ transport in mitochondria and zymogen granules. The interaction of sulfonylureas and potassium channel openers with intracellular targets gives additional basic information about their properties. Additionally, these studies could be important because of the medical applications of sulfonylureas and potassium channel openers.

Abstract
The guanidine derivative U-37883A has been found to stimulate in vitro synthesis of phosphatidylserine in endoplasmic reticulum membranes, catalyzed exclusively by a serine-specific base exchange enzyme. The stimulation of the enzyme activity by the drug was concentration-dependent, with EC50 of 54 microM, while the biologically inactive analog of U-37883A, U-42069, was without effect. The stimulation caused by U-37883A was enhanced under the conditions when active transport of Ca2+ into the lumen of microsomal vesicles was induced, whereas it was inhibited by a calcium ionophore, A23187, and by a specific inhibitor of Ca2+-ATPase, thapsigargin. On the other hand, a potassium ionophore, valinomycin, had no effect on phosphatidylserine synthesis. U-37883A did not affect the Km of the base exchange enzyme for serine, but greatly reduced the EC50 value of the enzyme for calcium. Furthermore, Ca2+ uptake by endoplasmic reticulum vesicles has been found to increase in the presence of U-37883A. These observations suggest that U-37883A enhances phosphatidylserine synthesis indirectly by acting on calcium transport, thus affecting calcium concentration within the lumen of endoplasmic reticulum membranes. Alternatively, the effect of the drug could be propagated via the mechanism by which phospholipid flip-flop movement, known to regulate the serine-specific base exchange reaction, is modulated.

Abstract
Biochemical identification of mitochondrial sulfonylurea receptors has been carried out through binding studies performed with [3H]glibenclamide. The presence of a single class of low affinity binding sites for glibenclamide in the inner mitochondrial membrane has been found, with a KD of 360 +/- 48 nM and BMAX of 48 +/- 7 pmoles/mg in beef heart mitochondria. Glibenclamide binding was affected by other sulfonylureas (glipizide, glisoxepide) but not by potassium channel openers (diazoxide, pinacidil, RP66471). In both rat liver and beef heart mitochondria adenine nucleotides (ATP, ADP, AMP) and nucleotide analogs (triazine dyes) produced large inhibition (from 60 to 80%) of [3H]glibenclamide binding. Photoaffinity labeling of submitochondrial particles with [125I]-glibenclamide revealed a single specifically labeled polypeptide band of 28 kDa by SDS-PAGE that is postulated to be (or to form a part of) the mitochondrial sulfonylurea receptor.
