Cyclic nucleotide-gated ion channel — Cyclic nucleotide gated (CNG) ion channels are ion channels that function in response to the binding of cyclic nucleotides. CNG channels are nonselective cation channels that are found in the membranes of various types of cells. Signal… … Wikipedia

Light-gated ion channel — Light gated ion channels are a group of transmembrane proteins that form ion channels; pores which open or close in response to light. Most light gated ion channels have been synthesized in the laboratory for study, though one naturally occurring … Wikipedia
Voltage-gated ion channel — Voltage gated ion channels are a class of transmembrane ion channels that are activated by changes in electrical potential difference near the channel; these types of ion channels are especially critical in neurons, but are common in many types… … Wikipedia
ligand-gated ion channel — A transmembrane ion channel whose permeability is increased by the binding of a specific ligand, typically a neurotransmitter at a chemical synapse. The permeability change is often drastic; such channels let through effectively no ions when shut … Dictionary of molecular biology
G-protein-gated ion channel — G protein coupled channels (GPC) are stimulated when the neurotransmitter binds to the G protein coupled receptor (GCR). This activates G proteins, which move to another ion channel. The G Proteins allow the channel to open and ions are able to… … Wikipedia
voltage-gated ion channel — A transmembrane ion channel whose permeability to ions is extremely sensitive to the transmembrane potential difference. These channels are essential for neuronal signal transmission, and for intracellular signal transduction. See sodium channel … Dictionary of molecular biology
Ion channel — Not to be confused with: Ion Television or Ion implantation. Schematic diagram of an ion channel. 1 channel domains (typically four per channel), 2 outer vestibule, 3 selectivity filter, 4 diameter of selectivity filter, 5 phosphorylation site, 6 … Wikipedia
Ion channel linked receptors — are cell membrane bound receptors. They act through synaptic signaling on electrically excitable cells. The ion channels opening and closing is controlled by neurotransmitters.Ion channel linked receptors are also called ligand gated channels .… … Wikipedia
Voltage-gated potassium channel — Ion channel (eukariotic) Potassium channel, structure in a membrane like environment. Calculated hydrocarbon boundaries of the lipid bilayer are indicated by red and blue dots. Identifiers Symbol Ion trans … Wikipedia
