Ion Channels
Cell membrane
Voltage-gated Ion Channels voltage-gated because they open and close depending on the electrical potential across the membrane.
Chemically-gated Ion Channels Ligand-gated ion channels G-protein coupled receptors
Membrane potential
Subunit structure of the voltage-gated sodium channels
Amino acid sequence similarity and phylogenetic relationships of voltage-gated sodium channel subunits The nine sodium channel isoforms may be considered members of one protein family.
