Document Summary

Transport proteins- transmembrane proteins that provide a pathway for the mvmnt of specific ions & hydrophilic molecules across membranes. Bypass phospholipid bilayer; allow membranes to be selectively permeable. Channels- forms a passageway for the facilitated diffusion of ions or molecules across the membrane; most are gated- can open to allow diffusion of solutes & close to prohibit; allows cells to regulate mvmnt of solute. When open, mvmnt can be very rapid. Ligand-gated channels- open in response to binding of an extracellular ligand (a) Noncovalent binding of intracellular regulator proteins (b) or covalent attachment of small molecule ( c) can also trigger opening: voltage-gated channels- open/close in resp to electrical gradients (d, mechanosensitive channels- sensitive to changes in membrane tension ( e) Principle pathway for uptake of organic molecules: allow uptake of certain hormones/nucleotides o o. Transport ions to regulate internal ph & cell volume.
