Scope Note
diverse family of membrane proteins which catalyze the transfer of small, usually lipophobic solutes across the membrane; may mediate active (ATP-driven), co- (countergradient-driven), or passive transport.
Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- At the beginning, the membrane transport protein is in its closed configuration which does not allow substrates or other molecules to enter or leave the cell.
- (3 pts) Which membrane transport protein is activated first as an action potential moves along an axon? Voltage-gated Na+ channels.
- (3 pts) Which membrane transport protein is activated first as an action potential moves along an axon? b.
- This intensively studied membrane transport protein is composed of two pseudo-symmetrical 6-helix bundles with a large internal cavity containing bound sugar and open to the cytoplasm only.
- In this paper, a novel approach for estimating distances in a polytopic membrane transport protein is presented.
