Specialized Functions of Ion Channels
Mediate the generation, conduction and transmission of electrical signals in the nervous system
Control the release of neurotransmitters and hormones
Initiate muscle contraction
Transfer small molecules between cells (gap junctions)
Mediate fluid transport in secretory cells
Control motility of growing and migrating cells
Provide selective permeability properties important for various intracellular organelles
