neuronal ion channel clustering

Term ID

GO:0045161

Synonyms

Definition

The process in which voltage-gated ion channels become localized to distinct subcellular domains in the neuron. Specific targeting, clustering, and maintenance of these channels in their respective domains are essential to achieve high conduction velocities of action potential propagation. 11456440
