Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These molecules attach to integral membrane proteins, or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer. The regulatory protein subunits of many ion channels and transmembrane receptors, for example, may be defined as peripheral membrane proteins.
Integral membrane proteins. Integral membrane proteins are so designated because they are both structurally and functionally an integral component of a membrane. Structurally, regions of integral membrane proteins penetrate the hydrophobic regions of the phospholipid bilayer.ecause of this interaction, integral membrane proteins can usually only be removed from the membrane by the use of detergents that disrupt the hydrophobic interactions of the bilayer. Functionally, the presence of these proteins imparts to the membrane specific functions.
