Integral membrane proteins such as receptors and ion channels span the membrane. Peripheral membrane proteins, for example some signalling proteins, are tethered by an anchor, via a fatty acid ...

Like transport proteins, receptor proteins are specific and selective for the molecules they bind (Figure 4). Peripheral membrane proteins are associated with the membrane but are not inserted ...
