Membrane proteins are proteins that interact with biological membranes. They are one of the common types of protein along with soluble globular proteins, fibrous proteins, and disordered proteins. They are targets of over 50% of all modern medicinal drugs. It is estimated that 20â30% of all genes in most genomes encode membrane proteins.
The cytoskeleton is made up of protein threads. It is responsible for holding the cell in place, maintaining cellular shape and supporting the cell membrane. Plant and animal cells contain three basic types of protein thread. Actin filaments, or microfilaments, are the thinnest type, while intermediate filaments are thicker and stronger. Microtubules are larger still with a hollow center and are essential for mechanical support.
