Ion channels and disease : channelopathies

Ion channels and disease : channelopathies / Frances M. Ashcroft.

Ion channels are membrane proteins that act as gated pathways for the movement of ions across cell membranes. They play essential roles in the physiology of all cells. In recent years, an ever-increasing number of human and animal diseases have been found to result from defects in ion channel functi...
