Sentence examples for bind to a membrane from inspiring English sources
PIF has been shown to bind to a membrane receptor on skeletal muscle (unpublished observations), although the nature of this receptor and the relationship to PLA2 aret known.
These proteins bind to a membrane receptor complex comprised of frizzled (FZD) G-protein-coupled receptor and a low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein [ 56].
As previously shown [1], RTA3 is essentially inactive as a permeabilizer of pure PC bilayers, a consequence of the inability of the peptide to bind to a membrane lacking a negative surface charge.
In the host, Stxs bind to a membrane glycolipid receptor (globotriaosylceramie, Gb3) which is highly expressed by microvascular endothelium in the kidney, the primary target for Stxs in human disease (Hughes et al., 2002).
In summary, this is the first example to our knowledge of a Rab GTPase (or any non-cytoskeletal protein) binding to a motor domain in a manner that has the potential to influence whether that protein chooses to bind to a membrane or a microtubule track.
The hormone X may also be secreted to extracellular space and bind to a membrane-bound receptor or crosses the plasma membrane and binds to a cytosolic receptor by autocrine or paracrine regulation.
Harmonin was able to bind to a membrane-targeted intracellular domain of Cdh23 (mbn-Cdh23; Fig. 4A, lanes 9 and 12), but neither of these USH proteins immunoprecipitated with Ift88 (Fig. 4A, lanes 3, 6, 12 and 15).
IL-6 can bind to a membrane-bound IL-6 receptor (IL-6R) which acts in cooperation with the transmembrane signal-transducing subunit soluble glycoprotein 130 (gp130) [ 4, 5].
BPA has also been shown to bind to a membrane-associated ER and produce nongenomic steroid actions (Wetherill et al. 2007) with the same efficacy and potency as estradiol (Alonso-Magdalena et al. 2005; Hugo et al. 2008).
No crystal structure of this important neuropeptide is available and hence NMR restrained molecular dynamics was used to investigate its conformational space in aqueous solution and when bound to a membrane surface.
