Lipid raft — organisation, region (1) is standard lipid bilayer, while region (2) is a lipid raft. The plasma membrane of cells is made of a combination of glycosphingolipids and protein receptors organized in glycolipoprotein microdomains termed lipid… … Wikipedia
Peripheral membrane protein — Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These molecules attach to integral membrane proteins, or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer. The… … Wikipedia
Membrane protein — Crystal structure of Potassium channel KvAP. Calculated hydrocarbon boundaries of the lipid bilayer are indicated by red and blue dots. A membrane protein is a protein molecule that is attached to, or associated with the membrane of a cell or an… … Wikipedia
Protein — Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by … Wikipedia

Model lipid bilayer — A model lipid bilayer is any bilayer assembled in vitro, as opposed to the bilayer of natural cell membranes or covering various sub cellular structures like the nucleus. A model bilayer can be made with either synthetic or natural lipids. The… … Wikipedia
Amyloid precursor protein — (APP) is an integral membrane protein expressed in many tissues and concentrated in the synapses of neurons. Its primary function is not known, though it has been implicated as a regulator of synapse formationPriller C, Bauer T, Mitteregger G,… … Wikipedia
Rab (G-protein) — The Rab family of proteins is a member of the Ras superfamily of monomeric G proteins. Approximately 70 types of Rabs have now been identified in humans. Rab GTPases regulate many steps of membrane traffic, including vesicle formation, vesicle… … Wikipedia
SNARE (protein) — Molecular machinery driving vesicle fusion in neuromediator release. The core SNARE complex is formed by four α helices contributed by synaptobrevin, syntaxin and SNAP 25, synaptotagmin serves as a calcium sensor and regulates intimately the… … Wikipedia
