LGICdb -- Ligand-Gated Ion Channels Database
What you can do:
Search for both nucleic acid and protein sequences of ligand-gated ion channels.
Highlights:
- The database aims to provide only one entry for each gene, containing annotated nucleic acid and protein sequences.
- The repository is carefully structured and the entries can be retrieved by various criteria.
- In addition to the sequences, the LGICdb provides multiple sequence alignments, phylogenetic analyses and atomic coordinates when available.
- The Ligand Gated Ion Channel Database currently contains 506 entries of ligand-activated ion channel subunits (2004).
Keywords:
- Ligand Gated Ion Channels
- ligand-gated ion channels
- ion channels
- ATP gated channels
- glutamate activated cationic channels
- cys-loop superfamily
- ion channel phylogenetic analysis
- transmembrane proteins
- nicotinic receptors
- ATP receptors
- GABA receptors
- glutamate ionotropic receptors
