Abstract excerpt
Ion channels are generally classified as voltage- or ligand-gated channels based upon their ability to respond to a change in the transmembrane voltage or to a specific ligand interaction. The voltage sensor of voltage-gated ion channels is thought to be contained within the fourth putative trans...
