IUPHAR-DB: an open-access, expert-curated resource for receptor and ion channel research.
This contribution highlights efforts by the International Union of Basic and Clinical Pharmacology (IUPHAR) Nomenclature Committee (NC-IUPHAR) to classify human receptors and ion channels, to document their properties, and to recommend ligands that are useful for characterization. This effort has inspired the creation of an online database (IUPHAR-DB), which is intended to provide free information to all scientists, summarized from primary literature by experts.
