voltage-gated ion channel activity
id: GO:0005244
name: voltage-gated ion channel activity
namespace: molecular_function
type: go
obsolete: False
Description: Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a voltage-gated channel. An ion is an atom or group of atoms carrying an electric charge by virtue of having gained or lost one or more electrons. A voltage-gated channel is a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded.
