Map of membrane proteins Flashcards
Functional categories of membrane proteins include
transporters, structural proteins, enzymes and receptors
Structure of membrane proteins
can either be integral or peripheral
Membrane transport- carrier proteins change and channel proteins form
carrier proteins-change conformation
channel proteins can form open or gated channels
3 types of gated channels
mechanically gated, voltage gate and chemically gates
structural proteins are part of
cell junctions and cytoskeleton
Membrane enzymes are active in
metabolism and signal transfer
Membrane receptors activate
membrane enzymes
membrane receptors are active in
receptor-mediated endocytosis.
membrane receptors open and close
chemically gated channel
Functions of membrane receptors
- can activate
- are active in thing
-open and close chemically gated channels
