Ligand-gated ion channels

Type Gated by Location Function
IP3 receptor IP3 ER/SR Releases calcium from ER/SR in response to IP3 by e.g. GPCRs (Bosanac et al. 2002)
Ryanodine receptor Dihydropyridine receptors in T-tubules and increased intracellular calcium (Calcium Induced Calcium Release - CICR) ER/SR Calcium-induced calcium release in myocytes (Bosanac et al. 2002)
