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.
