Channels is the first international peer-reviewed journal to focus exclusively on all aspects of ion channel and ion transporter/exchanger function. The goal is to foster communication and rapid exchange of information through timely publication of important results.

Channels publishes articles on biophysics, structure, molecular biology, structure-function analysis, and regulation of channels and ion transport proteins, as well as their roles in health and disease. We also encourage submission of manuscripts concerned with physiological aspects that branch into areas such as neuroscience and cardiovascular sciences, provided that channels and/or transporters are the main focus of such studies. There are no limitations to the technical and experimental approaches that will be considered. The key criteria are originality, scientific merit and technical competence.


  • Channels is abstracted/indexed in PubMed/Medline.
