Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have identified a protein that causes human cell membranes to break open in a ...

Dynamin is a protein that plays a central role in endocytosis—the process where cells internalize substances by wrapping them in cell membrane vesicles. For a vesicle to detach, the neck of the ...

Located at the cellular interface, membrane proteins play critical regulatory roles in the signaling between a cell and its interacting environment, making them popular and ideal drug targets.

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ...

Cellular membrane proteins play important roles in cellular transport, signaling, and cell-to-cell communication. Malfunction in membrane proteins can lead to serious diseases, such as cancer. However ...

Membrane proteins are ubiquitous cellular components that are responsible for a wide array of cellular and molecular activities, including drug metabolism, lipid shuttling, and antibiotic resistance.
