Attributes

QName Type Fixed Default Use Inheritable Annotation
density YesNo yes optional 
Is this a specification of conductance per unit area? Note: almost all channel mechanisms to far have been density mechanisms. 
This attribute is subject to change when use of ChannelML for single channel conductances is supported.
name xs:string required 
A unique name for the channel mechanism
