From Cell Line Development to Membrane Protein Production

From Cell Line Development to Membrane Protein
Production
Prepared and Compiled by Creative Biomart

• Membrane proteins are proteins that interact with
  biological membranes. They are targets of over
  50 of all modern medicinal drugs. It is
  estimated that 2030 of all genes in most
  genomes encode membrane proteins.

Importance

• Membrane receptor proteins relay signals between
  the cell's internal and external environments.
• Transport proteins move molecules and ions across
  the membrane. They can be categorized according
  to the Transporter Classification database.
• Membrane enzymes may have many activities, such
  as oxidoreductase, transferase or hydrolase.
• Cell adhesion molecules allow cells to identify
  each other and interact. For example proteins
  involved in immune response.

However

• Despite their importance, membrane receptors are
  notoriously difficult to prepare in pure,
  correctly-folded form in sufficient quantity for
  drug discovery purposes.
