Kir6.2 is a subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium (K_ATP) channels, which are crucial for various physiological processes, including the regulation of insulin secretion in pancreatic beta cells, muscle excitability, and neuronal activity. K_ATP channels are formed by the assembly of two types of subunits: the Kir6.x subunits (where 'x' can be 1 or 2) and the SUR (sulfonylurea receptor) subunits. Kir6.
