A recent study has discovered a biological role of a specific transmembrane protein called TMEM208. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, showed that a ...

Transmembrane proteins involve various physiological functions, including protein ligation, recognition, transport, anchoring, and transduction. Several diseases are connected with abnormalities in ...

In this interview, Dr. Fang-Yi Chu talks to NewsMedical about the role of transmembrane proteins in targeting oncology research. Can you explain what transmembrane proteins are and why they are ...

An accurate map of the proteins that span cell membranes has been generated for different regions in the mouse brain, and it has been used to identify two regulators of depression. One of the arsenal ...

Transmembrane signaling involves sensing and communicating with the extracellular environment. Part of the transmembrane signaling is a process known as autoproteolysis, which is key in different ...

This study is led by Dr. Vijay Venkatesh (Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University). Characterization of transmembrane ion transport through porous substrates at ...

Membrane proteins do not reveal their structures easily. Because they are particularly hard to crystallize, such proteins make X-ray crystallography expensive and time-consuming. So, many ...
