According to the nature of the primary regulating signal, most ion channels are classified as either ligand-gated or voltage-gated channels; however, these distinctions are not unique. The cell maintains an asymmetric ion distribution with Na + and Ca 2+ being maintained at low and K + and ...

As for most voltage-gated ion channels, in addition to electrophysiological approaches, fluorescence-based ion flux or membrane potential assays orbinding approaches can be used for pharmacological characterization and screening of ligand-gated ion channels. ...
calcium channel (calcium-sodium channel) a slow voltage-gated channel very permeable to calcium ions and slightly permeable to sodium ions, existing in three subtypes designated L, M, and N and located throughout the body; calcium channels are the main cause of action potentials in certain smoot...
Studies using the technique of voltage and patch-clamp recording have examined the three basic features of an ion channel: gating, conductance, and selective permeability. Neurotransmitter-gated channels are composed of a hetero-oligomeric complex that consists of five closely related subunits surrounding...
