Ion channels are protein complexes that go through the cell membrane and regulate ion flow. Mutations of ion channel structure and function (channelopathies) are linked to diverse diseases which can affect different organs (periodic paralysis, inherited myopathy, heart disease, epilepsy, episodic ataxia, etc.).
