In this lesson, you will learn about the parts of the cell membrane and the cell membrane functions. In addition, you will explore the role proteins in the cell membrane. Related to this QuestionWhich molecules can easily pass through cell membrane without help of carriers? Which ty...
MHC-I molecules are commonly located on the cell surface of the nucleated cells, forming the trimeric complexes composed of a heavy chain, an invariant light chain B2M. The heavy chains are lined with the cell membrane and the domains distant to the membrane, including α1 and α2, form a...
PECAM-1 (CD31) cloning and relation to adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin gene superfamily An antibody to a platelet integral membrane glycoprotein was found to cross-react with the previously identified CD31 myelomonocytic differentiation antige...

Traditional views of cellular metabolism imply that it is passively adapted to meet the demands of the cell. It is becoming increasingly clear, however, that metabolites do more than simply supply the substrates for biological processes; they also provide critical signals, either through effects on ...
Introduction: Cells, the smallest functional unit in an organism, contain several organelles and carry out functions of life. The cell membrane is an organelle that holds thecell’s contents, and it allows for certain molecules to pass through, which is why it is referred to as selectively per...
GPCRs are a large family of more than 700 proteins, which sit in the cell membrane and sense various molecules outside the cell, including odors, hormones, neurotransmitters, andlight. After binding these molecules, GPCRs trigger the appropriate response inside the cell. However, for many GPCR...
Microtubules in plant cells have a quite different organization, lying immediately beneath the cell membrane, oriented at right angles to the direction of cell expansion. The role of microtubules in plants is to direct the deposition of cellulose fibers on the outside of the cell membrane. ...
Proteins that are secreted or function in the cell membrane are folded in a specialized compartment in the cell, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The production of proteins is not free of error. To ensure that only properly folded proteins or protein complexes exit the ER to their destinations,...
