Difference between Depolarization and Ligand-gated ion channel

Depolarization vs. Ligand-gated ion channel

In biology, depolarization is a change within a cell, during which the cell undergoes a shift in electric charge distribution, resulting in less negative charge inside the cell. Ligand-gated ion channels (LICs, LGIC), also commonly referred as ionotropic receptors, are a group of transmembrane ion-channel proteins which open to allow ions such as Na+, K+, Ca2+, and/or Cl− to pass through the membrane in response to the binding of a chemical messenger (i.e. a ligand), such as a neurotransmitter.

Similarities between Depolarization and Ligand-gated ion channel

Depolarization and Ligand-gated ion channel have 9 things in common (in Unionpedia): Action potential, Hyperpolarization (biology), Ion, Ion channel, Membrane potential, Neurotransmitter, Resting potential, Sodium, Voltage-gated calcium channel.

Action potential

In physiology, an action potential occurs when the membrane potential of a specific axon location rapidly rises and falls: this depolarisation then causes adjacent locations to similarly depolarise.

Hyperpolarization (biology)

Hyperpolarization is a change in a cell's membrane potential that makes it more negative.

Ion

An ion is an atom or molecule that has a non-zero net electrical charge (its total number of electrons is not equal to its total number of protons).

Ion channel

Ion channels are pore-forming membrane proteins that allow ions to pass through the channel pore.

Resting potential

The relatively static membrane potential of quiescent cells is called the resting membrane potential (or resting voltage), as opposed to the specific dynamic electrochemical phenomena called action potential and graded membrane potential.

Sodium

Sodium is a chemical element with symbol Na (from Latin natrium) and atomic number 11.

Voltage-gated calcium channel

Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), also known as voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g., muscle, glial cells, neurons, etc.) with a permeability to the calcium ion Ca2+.
