This report is focused upon an analysis of the two pharmaceutically-important drug target classes—ion channels and G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). The following will be presented within this report:
  • Classification and structure of ion channels and GPCRs.
  • Signal transduction cascades initiated by ligand binding/stimulation of these targets.
  • Technologies for interrogation of these target classes, opportunities, and challenges therein.
  • The major products commercially available for interrogating these target classes.
  • Market shares of vendors in the respective spaces.
  • Qualitative and quantitative market analysis: market drivers, challenges, market size, growth rate, and future market opportunity.
  • SWOT analysis of the various companies in the two market segments.
  • Market size and business opportunities in the ion channel and GPCR spaces.
