10 views4 pages

Document Summary

Types of transport proteins: channel proteins, carrier proteins. Water filled pore that can open to both sides of the cell. Provide a direct link between intra and extracellular compartments: need hydrophobic side in lipid bilayer and hydrophilic by the heads/end of proteins. Transmembrane proteins form the channel - hydrophilic segments line the pore. Carry water or ions: water channel - aquaporin. If lining of the pore is positive - repel positive ions. If lining of the pore is negative - repel negative ions. Gated channels: open and close in response to signals. Chemical gate, voltage gate, or mechanical gate. Protein that is the gate is inside the cell. Open channels: or pores are usually open. Provide an indirect link between intra and extracellular compartments, never open to both sides at once. Bind to the substrates they carry and undergo conformation change: binding of the substrate opens the carrier protein the other way. Uniport carriers: transport only one kind of substrate.
