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.
[edit] Integral transmembrane protein Main article: Transmembrane proteins The most common type of IMP is the transmembrane protein (TM), which spans the entire biological membrane. Such a protein may cross the membrane only once or it may weave in and out, crossing several times.M proteins can be categorized as Type I, which are positioned such that their amino-terminus is outside of the membrane, or Type II, which have their carboxy-terminus outside of the membrane. [edit] Integral monotopic proteins Integral monotopic proteins are permanently attached to the membrane from one side.
