This protein functions as a channel across the membrane of cells that produce mucus, sweat, saliva, tears, and digestive enzymes.
The structural features of p76 suggest that it may function as a channel or small molecule transporter in intracellular compartments throughout phylogeny.
The structure of synaptophysin suggests that the protein may function as a channel in the synaptic vesicle membrane, with the carboxyl terminus serving as a binding site for cellular factors.
ORF4 encodes a putative periplasmic iron binding protein, ORF5 encodes a putative permease that functions as a channel through which iron passes through, and ORF6 encodes a putative ATPase.
The app, cofounded by Gilt Groupe cofounder Alexis Maybank and launched in April, lets users buy directly from images posted on the app, while also functioning as a revenue channel for influencers.
The protein facilitates migration by functioning as a water channel, but is also implicated in epidermal cell proliferation as a glycerol transporter [ 27].
In functioning as an ion channel, p7 modulates membrane permeability to facilitate virus entry by promoting virus uncoating and to enhance assembly or release.
Taku Yamasaki, secretary general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, said that the site of raid, the Chongryon, "had been functioning as a constant diplomatic channel to North Korea, until now".
PURPOSE: Aquaporin (AQP) is a hexahelical integral membrane protein that functions as a constitutive channel for water and regulated channel for cations in fluid transporting tissues, including many in the eye.
This protein functions as a gated channel; when heated to 42 °C, the otherwise closed channel opens.
We conclude that the prokaryotic SaTRIC also function as a K+ channel, with similar electrophysiological properties as the eukaryotic TRIC channels.
