<b>Ion channels</b> are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass 
through the channel pore. Their functions include establishing a resting 
membrane&nbsp;... Voltage-gated <b>ion channels</b> are a class of transmembrane proteins that form <b>ion</b> 
<b>channels</b> that are activated by changes in the electrical membrane potential&nbsp;... Ligand-gated <b>ion channels</b> (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred to as ionotropic 
receptors, are a group of transmembrane <b>ion</b>-<b>channel</b> proteins which open to&nbsp;... Light-gated <b>ion channels</b> are a family of <b>ion channels</b> regulated by 
electromagnetic radiation. Other gating mechanisms for <b>ion channels</b> include 
voltage-gated&nbsp;... Acid-sensing <b>ion channels</b> (ASICs) are neuronal voltage-insensitive sodium 
channels activated by extracellular protons permeable to Na<sup>+</sup>. ASIC1 also shows
&nbsp;... Transient receptor potential channels (TRP channels) are a group of <b>ion</b> 
<b>channels</b> located mostly on the plasma membrane of numerous animal cell types
. Sodium channels are integral membrane proteins that form <b>ion channels</b>, 
conducting sodium ions (Na) through a cell&#39;s&nbsp;... Mechanosensitive channels, mechanosensitive <b>ion channels</b> or stretch-gated <b>ion</b>

function in response to the binding of cyclic nucleotides. CNG channels are&nbsp;... Lipid-gated <b>ion channels</b> are a class of <b>ion channels</b> whose conductance of ions 
through the membrane depends directly on lipids. Classically the lipids are&nbsp;...
