Ion channels are transmembrane proteins that aid in the maintenance of inorganic ion homeostasis within the cell by selectively importing and exporting ions across the plasma membrane. These proteins form a hydrophobic pore across the membrane to connect the extra cellular matrix with the cytosol of the cell. These channels are not continually open; rather they are controlled by external/internal chemical, electrical, or mechanical factors. These external factors cause a change in the conformational
