Glossary Transmembrane Protein

spans the entire cell membrane, facilitating transport and signaling

A transmembrane protein, also known as an integral membrane protein, is a type of protein that spans the entire lipid bilayer of a cell membrane. These proteins play crucial roles in various cellular processes, such as transporting molecules across the membrane, acting as receptors for signaling molecules, and maintaining the cell's structural integrity.
