INTEGRAL MEMBRANE PROTEINS

• EXAMPLES OF INTERGRAL MEMBRANE PROTEINS?

  carrier proteins or channel proteins
• FUNCTION OF INTERGRAL MEMBRANE PROTEINS?

  transport of molecules across membrane
• FUNCTION OF CHANNEL PROTEINS?

  fill with water, allowing water-soluble ions to diffuse across
• FUNCTION OF CARRIER PROTEINS?

  bind with larger molecules (e.g. AA/ glucose) and change shape to transport molecules to the other side of membrane
