WHAT DOES IONOTROPIC RECEPTOR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Ligand-gated ion channel

Ligand-gated ion channels are a group of transmembrane ion channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, or Cl- to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger, such as a neurotransmitter. These proteins are typically composed of at least two different domains: a transmembrane domain which includes the ion pore, and an extracellular domain which includes the ligand binding location. This modularity has enabled a 'divide and conquer' approach to finding the structure of the proteins. The function of such receptors located at synapses is to convert the chemical signal of presynaptically released neurotransmitter directly and very quickly into a postsynaptic electrical signal. Many LGICs are additionally modulated by allosteric ligands, by channel blockers, ions, or the membrane potential. LGICs are classified into three superfamilies which lack evolutionary relationship: Cys-loop receptors, Ionotropic glutamate receptors and ATP-gated channels. LGICs can be contrasted with metabotropic receptors, voltage-gated ion channels, and stretch-activated ion channels.
