Lipid-anchored proteins (also known as lipid-linked proteins) are proteins located on the surface of the cell membrane [of what?] that are covalently attached...

and proteins, such as the polybasic domain of the MARCKS protein or histactophilin, when their natural hydrophobic anchors are present. Lipid anchored proteins...

glycosphingolipids, cholesterol and protein receptors organised in glycolipoprotein lipid microdomains termed lipid rafts. Their existence in cellular...

V proteins are anchored to the lipid bilayer through covalently linked lipids. Finally Type VI proteins have both transmembrane domains and lipid anchors...

multicellular organisms. Membrane proteins consist of three main types: integral proteins, peripheral proteins, and lipid-anchored proteins. As shown in the adjacent...

about. Such transmembrane proteins are difficult to isolate, as they bind tightly to the lipid membrane, often require lipids to display the proper structure...

single-pass molecules. Type I transmembrane proteins are anchored to the lipid membrane with a stop-transfer anchor sequence and have their N-terminal domains...

other hydrophilic parts of other membrane proteins on the surface of the membrane. Lipid anchored proteins: Essentially hydrophilic, so, are also located...

may be anchored in the lipid bilayer. Polypeptide toxins and many antibacterial peptides, such as colicins or hemolysins, and certain proteins involved...

keeps ions, proteins and other molecules where they are needed and prevents them from diffusing into areas where they should not be. Lipid bilayers are...
