Document Summary

The set of proteins that are associated w/ the membrane determine the function, and makes each membrane distinct and unique: 5. 3a the key functions of membrane proteins. Membrane proteins consist of four major categories. A transport protein provides a hydrophilic channel that allows a specific molecule to diffuse through a membrane. It may also alter its shape to allow molecules to move from one side of the membrane to another: enzymatic activity. An example of this is the enzymes that are associated with cellular respiration (i. e. the. Etc: signal transduction the series of events by which a signal molecule released from a controlling cell causes a response (affects the function) of target cells with receptors for the signal. Target cells process the signal in the three sequential steps of reception, transduction, and response. Receptor proteins often bind to hormones and cause changes on the inside of the membrane, which leads to transduction of a signal through the specific cell: attachment/recognition.
