Ion Channels In Neurons

Ion channels regulate crucial electrical functions throughout the body, including the heartbeat, sensory transduction, and CNS function. Given the central role in many physiological processes, they represent an attractive target class for drug discovery. They are enormous potential for the intervention of disease states in various disorders, particularly in the CNS and cardiovascular systems. The recognized importance of ion channel proteins in health and disease has led to an active search for ion channel targets and novel therapeutics in the worldwide drug discovery market.
