anionikanavia
Anionikanavia is a term that appears in speculative or hypothetical discussions of membrane transport biology. In these contexts, it refers to a proposed family or clade of anion-selective channels or pathways that would enable the efficient translocation of negatively charged ions across lipid membranes. The concept is not part of established scientific nomenclature or supported by validated experimental data.
Etymology and usage of the term are informal. The name combines the word anion with a suffix
Proposed characteristics of anionikanavia in theoretical models include selective permeation for various anions such as chloride
Relation to real science is interpretive rather than empirical. Real classes of anion channels exist, but as
