inhibitory extracellular ligand-gated ion channel activity
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
Enables the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens when a specific extracellular inhibitory ligand has been bound by the channel complex or one of its constituent parts. Inhibitory ligands, such as GABA or glycine, open chloride-selective channels. Source: ISBN:0323037070, GOC:mah
