______ indirectly result in ion channels opening following binding of neurotransmitter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metabotropic receptors indirectly lead to the opening of ion channels through a series of intracellular events triggered by the binding of a neurotransmitter. Unlike ionotropic receptors, which directly open ion channels upon neurotransmitter binding, metabotropic receptors activate G proteins and second messengers that can modulate various ion channels.
