The immunolocalization of the plasma membrane H+-ATPase, which generates a proton motive force energizing the uptake of inorganic and organic solutes, was studied by electron microscopy. The cells ...

Membrane microdomains have an important role in many cellular processes, including cell migration, vesicle trafficking, organizing membrane protein assemblies, and pathogen uptake. Our research group ...

Membrane proteins are proteins that are part of or interact with cell membranes, and they are responsible for carrying out the majority of the functions of these membranes. Membrane proteins account ...

Cellular membrane proteins play many important roles throughout the body, including transporting substances in and out of the cell, transmitting signals, speeding up reactions and helping neighboring ...

Peritrophic membranes (PMs) are acellular layered structures secreted around ingested materials by the gut epithelium. Most studies on PMs have focused on those of insects and crustaceans due to their ...

Vesicles are small cellular containers. They perform a variety of functions, such as helping to transport materials that an organism needs to survive and recycle waste materials. There are several ...
