  "field": "Environment",
  "term_source": "Voltage-Gated Potassium Ion Channel Activation",
  "definition": "A process that involves detection of alteration to the voltage across a membrane, and results in opening of the channel to become selectively permeable to potassium ions. This interaction plays a crucial role in setting the potential of the resting membrane.",
