Zinc-activated ion channels are a group of ion channels that open in response to the presence of zinc ions (Zn²⁺). These channels play a role in various physiological processes, including neuronal signaling, muscle contraction, and the modulation of neurotransmitter release. One of the most well-known types of zinc-activated ion channels is the **Zinc Sensory Ion Channel (or Zinc-Activated Channel)**.
