Cardiac Ion Channel
- Molecular classification
- Ion channel
01
Overview
Cardiac ion channels are specialized pore-forming membrane proteins that regulate the flow of ions—primarily sodium (Na⁺), potassium (K⁺), calcium (Ca²⁺), and chloride (Cl⁻)—across the cardiac cell membrane. These channels are essential for generating and propagating the cardiac action potential, which underlies rhythmic heart contractions and overall cardiac function.
02
Mechanism of action
Modulation of ion flow across cell membranes, influencing action potential duration and conduction velocity.
03
