This three-volume textbook provides a wide-ranging reference source on ion channels for students, instructors, and researchers. Volume III covers key ion channel regulators, the role of ion channels in selected physiological systems, and examples of mutations and dysfunction in selected diseases.

Jie Zheng, PhD, is a professor at the University of California Davis School of Medicine, where he has served as a faculty member in the Department of Physiology and Membrane Biology since 2004. Dr. Zheng earned a bachelors degree in physiology and biophysics (1988) and a masters degree in biophysics (1991) at Peking University. He earned a PhD in physiology (1998) at Yale University, where he studied with Dr. Fredrick J. Sigworth on patch-clamp recording, single-channel analysis, and voltage-dependent activation mechanisms. He received his postdoctoral training at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) and the University of Washington during 19992003, working with Dr. William N. Zagotta on the cyclic nucleotide-gated channels activation mechanism and novel fluorescence techniques for ion channel research. Currently, Dr. Zhengs research focuses on temperature-sensitive TRP channels.
