A stylized schematic depicts an ionotropic receptor (ligand-gated ion channel, LGIC) as a pentameric membrane protein, with five subunits arranged around a central pore. The protein is embedded in the plasma membrane, illustrating a molecular entity within the cellular hierarchy. In biochemistry and neurophysiology, such receptors mediate rapid signal transduction by allowing selective ion flux across the membrane upon ligand binding, thereby modulating membrane potential and cellular excitability.
