The Textbook of Ion Channels is a set of three volumes providing a
wide-ranging reference source on ion channels for students,
instructors, and researchers. Ion channels are membrane proteins
that control the electrical properties of neurons and cardiac
cells, mediate the detection and response to sensory stimuli like
light, sound, odor, and taste, and regulate the response to
physical stimuli like temperature and pressure. In non-excitable
tissues, ion channels are instrumental for the regulation of basic
salt balance that is critical for homeostasis. Ion channels are
located at the surface membrane of cells, giving them the unique
ability to communicate with the environment, as well as the
membrane of intracellular organelles, allowing them to regulate
internal homeostasis. Ion channels are fundamentally important for
human health and diseases, and are important targets for
pharmaceuticals in mental illness, heart disease, anesthesia, pain
and other clinical applications. The modern methods used in their
study are powerful and diverse, ranging from single ion-channel
measurement techniques to models of ion channel diseases in
animals, and human clinical trials for ion channel drugs. All three
volumes give the reader an introduction to fundamental concepts
needed to understand the mechanism of ion channels, a guide to the
technical aspects of ion channel research, offer a modern guide to
the properties of major ion channel families, and include coverage
of key examples of regulatory, physiological, and disease roles for
ion channels.
