Peripheral membrane proteins, for example some signalling proteins, are tethered by an anchor, via a fatty acid, prenyl group, glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) or a hydrophobic protein patch.

Binding causes a conformational change in the protein that transmits a signal ... for the molecules they bind (Figure 4). Peripheral membrane proteins are associated with the membrane but are ...

So how does protein synthesis make hair? If you've looked at the activity (or even the text version of the activity), you know how a section of DNA instructs a cell how to make a protein.

Protein is a macronutrient known for aiding muscle growth, athletic performance and recovery while helping to keep you feeling full. However, research suggests protein could also help you sleep ...

This function relies to a large extent on the presence of "adherens" and "tight junctions," veritable protein locks linking ... "These changes make the apical membrane—the top of the cell ...

By influencing calcium homeostasis, local protein synthesis and the endoplasmic reticulum, a small protein called Rab10 emerges as a crucial cytoplasmic regulator of neuropeptide secretion.
