ligand-gated ion channel signaling pathway
Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/GO_1990806
The series of molecular signals initiated by activation of a ligand-gated ion channel on the surface of a cell. The pathway begins with binding of an extracellular ligand to a ligand-gated ion channel and ends with a molecular function that directly regulates a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
