In this diagram of G-protein-coupled receptor activation, the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits are shown with distinct relationships to the plasma membrane. After exchange of GDP with GTP on the ...

A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

New research reveals that brain cells use a muscle-like signaling mechanism to relay information over long distances.

The fatty membrane surrounding every living cell is a vibrant environment where countless biological processes take place.

This influx of calcium at the contact site attracts and activates a kinase called CaMKII, a protein known to be important in ...

We are also actively investigating the regulation of Syk tyrosine kinase binding to membrane immune receptors and other signaling proteins. Syk recognizes doubly phosphorylated regions of the receptor ...

4 In response to the damage, PINK1 is stabilized at the outer mitochondrial membrane in association with a protein called the translocase of outer membrane (TOM) complex. To understand how PINK1 gets ...
