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 ...

Cells may generate their own electrical signals through microscopic membrane motions. Researchers show that active molecular ...

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.
