First sentence: Distinct characteristics of 'intracellular ligand-gated' channel 14-01-01: Patch-clamp methods have shown several small intracellular ligands are capable of exerting direct control over ion channel open states (i.e. are capable of opening or closing them, mostly by means of protein allosteric effects following ligand-binding).
