  "field": "Environment",
  "term_source": "Ligand-Independent Ion Channel Activation",
  "definition": "A process that involves interactions between an intrinsic membrane molecule and an electrochemical gradient across a membrane, often a voltage or a pH gradient. Such interactions may activate or deactivate an ion channel in the membrane, and constitute the basis of nerve conduction of impulse.",
