Compare and contrast the four different types of integral membrane proteins and how they are inserted into the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Don't forget to include: I. A discussion on where the amino and carboxy termini are located II. The signal sequences and machinery used to translocate the protein. III. the number of transmembrane spanning regions present and what they correspond to in the primary amino acid sequence.
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
