Descriptor canales iónicos
Entry term(s) canales de membrana
Scope note: Glicoproteínas selectivas para iones que controlan su paso a través de las membranas. El estímulo para pasar el canal puede ser un potencial de membrana, medicamentos, transmisores, mensajeros citoplasmáticos, o una deformación mecánica. No se incluyen los canales iónicos que son parte integrante de los receptores ionotrópicos neurotransmisores.
