Definitions:

Tetraethylammonium (TEA)

Tetraethylammonium (TEA) is a chemical compound known to block potassium channels in cells, used in research to understand ion channel functions and in studying neural and muscular activity.

Potassium Channels

Protein-based pathways located in cell membranes that allow potassium ions to flow in and out of cells, playing a critical role in maintaining the cell's electrical charge and signaling.

Sodium Channels

Protein channels in cell membranes that allow sodium ions to pass into or out of a cell, critical for generating and transmitting electrical signals in tissues like nerves and muscles.

Voltage-Activated

Referring to ion channels or processes within cells that are triggered or changed by alterations in electrical membrane potential.
