The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

Over the years, chemical biology methods have made an important contribution to the study of integral membrane proteins. A ...

These are significant findings, because "membrane proteins are initially made in the endoplasmic reticulum (inside cell), then transported to other membranes where they function," Dowhan said.

Protein organization is key to protein function — but difficult to uncover for membrane proteins. A new Yale-developed method overcomes the biggest challenges.

This protocol establishes the chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) model in avian embryos to investigate migrasome-mediated ...

Membrane proteins are the gateway to cells and are involved in many critical functions. Each membrane protein is unique, and their complexity makes it difficult to fit into a standardized expression ...

Membrane proteins are part of or interact with cell membranes, and they are responsible for carrying out the majority of the functions of these membranes.

Membrane proteins of bacteria and humans show surprising similarities Research cooperation uncovers structure and function of PspA and discovers evolutionary link of a bacterial protein to human ...

Researchers from The University of Osaka find the key proteins that maintain optimal pH within the Golgi apparatus by ...

In addition, some lipids function to define membrane domains, which recruit proteins from the cytosol that subsequently organize secondary signalling or effector complexes.

Membrane proteins perform crucial functions in biological cells, which means they play a key role in medicine and pharmacy. (Visualisations: Shutterstock) Nearly a third of all proteins in living ...
