Term Name:	ligand-gated ion channel signaling pathway
Synonyms:	ligand-gated ion channel signalling pathway
Definition:	The series of molecular signals initiated by activation of a ligand-gated ion channel on the surface of a cell. The pathway begins with binding of an extracellular ligand to a ligand-gated ion channel and ends with a molecular function that directly regulates a downstream cellular process, e.g. transcription.
