title: Ionic channels: II. Voltage- and agonist-gated and agonist-modified channel properties and structure.
abstract: This article reviews the different forms of ionic channels: voltage-gated, agonist-gated, and agonist- and second messenger-modified channels. The recent advances in our knowledge of the amino acid sequence of the sodium channel and the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor and the relationship of the primary structure to the channels' quarternary structure and function are discussed.
