pH-gated monoatomic ion channel activity [GO_0160128]

Enables the transmembrane transfer of an inorganic ion by a channel that opens in response to a change in proton concentration (pH).

pH-gated monoatomic ion channel activity

ID: GO_0160128

Class

Enables the transmembrane transfer of an inorganic ion by a channel that opens in response to a change in proton concentration (pH).

While the term suggest this activity may be proton-gated, the mechanism of pH-gating for transporters is by protonation of specific residues in the protein, and not by H+ binding.
