Voltage-gated proton channel

Voltage-gated proton channels are specialized ion channels that allow the selective movement of protons (H⁺ ions) across the cell membrane in response to changes in membrane potential. Unlike more commonly known ion channels (such as sodium or potassium channels), voltage-gated proton channels have a unique and specific function related to human physiology and intracellular processes. ### Key Features: 1. **Function**: These channels are involved in regulating pH and electrical excitability in cells.
