Cells that secrete this hormone contain a unique ATP-sensitive potassium channel with a SUR1 subunit.
Cells that secrete this hormone contain a unique ATP-sensitive potassium channel with a SUR1 subunit. The effects of Growth hormone are exerted by stimulating production of a growth factor named after this other hormone. GIP and GLP1 are examples of incretins which stimulate its secretion. It is co-secreted with amylin and the C-peptide. This hormone stimulates glycogen synthesis and induces the translocation of GLUT4 channels to the cell membrane of muscle and fat cells, allowing for increased glucose uptake. For 10 points, name this hormone released by the beta cells of the pancreas that is responsible for lowering blood sugar whose deficiency leads to type I diabetes.
