Ion Channel Modulator
- Molecular classification
- Small molecule, Peptide, Protein, Ion channel modulator, Activator, Inhibitor
01
Overview
An ion channel modulator is a molecule that alters the function of ion channels, membrane proteins responsible for the selective passage of ions across cell membranes. These modulators can either enhance or inhibit the activity of ion channels, thereby influencing cellular excitability and signaling. They are used therapeutically to treat conditions such as epilepsy, hypertension, chronic pain, and cardiac arrhythmias.
