- Ligand-gated ion
channels (LICs, LGIC), also
commonly referred to as
ionotropic receptors, are a
group of

proteins which open...
- An
ionotropic effect is the
effect of a
transmitter substance or
hormone that
activates or
deactivates ionotropic receptors (ligand-gated ion channels)...

Ionotropic GABA
receptors (iGABARs) are ligand-gated ion
channel of the GABA
receptors class which are
activated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and...

Ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) are ligand-gated ion
channels that are
activated by the
neurotransmitter glutamate. They

synapses use
multiple types of
