Malfunctions in channel proteins can lead to a range of diseases and conditions, such as:
- Cystic Fibrosis: Caused by mutations in the CFTR channel, affecting chloride ion transport. - Epilepsy: Some forms are linked to dysfunctional ion channels that disrupt normal neuronal activity. - Diabetes Insipidus: Linked to defective aquaporins, leading to excessive water loss and dehydration.
