Catalysis of the transfer of a negatively charged ion from one side of a membrane to the other. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of an ion by a voltage-gated channel. An ion is an atom or group of atoms carrying an electric charge by virtue of having gained or lost one or more electrons. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of a chloride ion by a voltage-gated channel. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of a solute by a channel whose open state is dependent on the voltage across the membrane in which it is embedded. Catalysis of facilitated diffusion of an ion (by an energy-independent process) by passage through a transmembrane aqueous pore or channel without evidence for a carrier-mediated mechanism. Catalysis of the transmembrane transfer of an anion by a voltage-gated channel. An anion is a negatively charged ion. Catalysis of the energy-independent passage of anions across a lipid bilayer down a concentration gradient.
