A minority of energetic researchers suggest that NMDA receptor activity is crucial for arousal (plays a more pivotal role in anaesthesia) and others suggest that voltage-gated channels are equally important in depressant drug action. Molecular biology and electrophysiology have been crucial for our ...
Ligand-gated ion channels (LGICs) are fast-responding channels in which the receptor, which binds the activating molecule (the ligand), and the ion channel are part of the same nanomolecular protein complex. This paper will describe the properties and functions of the nicotinic acetylcholine LGIC...
The present invention relates in part to isolated nucleic acid molecules (polynucleotides) which encode Dermacentor variabilis ligand gated ion channel proteins. The present
A Ligand-Gated Ion Channel is defined as a large receptor composed of multiple subunits that forms a channel allowing the passage of ions such as Na+, K+, Ca++, or Cl-. When activated, these channels can change the membrane potential by depolarizing or hyperpolarizing it, depending on the...

This type of ligand-gated ion channel is called a G-protein coupled inwardly rectifying potassium channel or GIRK. Ligands do not permanently bind the receptor. When the ligand leaves the receptor, it becomes available for the G-protein units to recouple and reattach. Before this though,...
