Ion channel toxins are specialized proteins or small molecules that disrupt the normal functioning of ion channels in cell membranes. Ion channels are integral membrane proteins that allow the selective passage of ions (such as sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride) across cell membranes, playing critical roles in various physiological processes, including nerve impulse transmission, muscle contraction, and hormone secretion.
