Term Name: temperature-gated ion channel activity
Synonyms: heat-activated ion channel activity, temperature gated ion channel activity, temperature-activated ion channel activity, temperature-dependent ion channel activity
Definition: Enables the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a channel that opens in response to a temperature stimulus (e.g. exposure to a temperature range different than the optimal temperature for that organism).
