Discovery Program for Ion Channel Targets

Creative Biostructure has established a magic ion channel targeted discovery platform to provide comprehensive products and services to accelerate your research for novel drug discovery and safety pharmacology. Ion channel is pore-forming membrane protein that facilitate ions to pass through the plasma membrane, playing crucial roles in the physiology of all kinds of cells.

Functions of Ion Channels

Ion Channel Classification

Ion channel have been identified into various types by gating mechanism or ion selectivity.
