Leakage (non-gated) or Resting channels: are always open, contribute to the resting potential -nerve cells have more K+ than Na+ leakage channels -as a result, membrane permeability to K+ is higher -so K+ leakage is the main factor in setting the resting membrane potential 2. Gated channels: chan ...

Channelrhodopsin
Channelrhodopsins are a subfamily of retinylidene proteins (rhodopsins) that function as light-gated ion channels. They serve as sensory photoreceptors in unicellular green algae, controlling phototaxis: movement in response to light. Expressed in cells of other organisms, they enable light to control electrical excitability, intracellular acidity, calcium influx, and other cellular processes. Channelrhodopsin-1 (ChR1) and Channelrhodopsin-2 (ChR2) from the model organism Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are the first discovered channelrhodopsins. Variants have been cloned from other algal species, and more are expected.
