what are the types of integral proteins?

ion channel, carrier, receptor, enzyme, linker

what is the function of an ion channel?

forms pore where ions can flow across the membrane

what is the function of a carrier?

transports a substance across the membrane by going through a shape change

what is the function of a receptor?

to recognize a specific ligand, and alters the cell's function

what is the function of an enzyme?

catalyzes reactions inside/outside the cell

what are the types of peripheral proteins?

enzymes, linker

what is the function of a linker?

anchors filaments inside/outside p-membrane; provides shape and structure for the cell

what type of protein is a glycoprotein?

cell identity marker

how does a Na+/K+ pump work?

3 Na+ from the cytosol bind to receptors in protein


this triggers ATP hydrolysis = ATP knocks of a phosphate, then becoming ADP


the fallen phosphate binds to the protein, causing a shape change


the Na+ is exposed to the extracellular fluid & binds to a protein


2 potassium from extracellular fluid bind to the protein, this triggers the phosphate to fall off, causing the protein to go back to normal

what kind of transport is a Na+/K+ pump?

primary active transport
