Membrane proteins are proteins found in cell membranes, either at the surface or on intracellular organelles. Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane.

Our News & Views discussed a recent paper 6 that clearly stated that the existence of a putative membrane ... receptor couples to a common intracellular signaling pathway in four different cells ...

Adhesion G protein-coupled receptors (aGPCRs ... The extracellular region of an aGPCR extends from the cell membrane into space outside the cell, where it can bind to molecules and receptors ...

Membrane proteins are key targets for therapeutic intervention using antibody biologics. Over 60% of FDA-approved drugs act ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) are widely found in the proteomes of eukaryotes and play key roles in life processes such as transcription of genetic information and signaling. Apart from ...

For years, scientists have thought that TGF-Beta, a signaling protein that holds ... to activate a neighboring receptor ...

This suggests that both PsPL1 protein and its degradation products possess the capacity to activate plant resistance through recognition by distinct types of cell membrane receptors. This study ...

Viral proteins with sugars attached to them are called glycoproteins. Glycoproteins typically bind to receptors on the membrane of a host cell. Viruses that do not bud from the host cell membrane ...

or whether they regulate other cell surface receptors. We really don’t know yet,” said Heintz. Heintz and his colleagues are planning additional studies of the prototoxin gene family in mice. They ...
