yes it can as its outside edges stick out of the phospholipid bilayer exposing it to the watery environment (polar/hydrophilic) and part of the protein is inside the bilayer along with the phospholipid tails (hydrophobic/nonpolar).

∙ 14y agoIntegral proteins are usually amphiphilic: having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions. They are completely embedded in the lipid bilayer. But because the lipid bilayer has a hydrophobic core and is hydrophilic on the outside, the proteins embedded need to match both polar ends.

Are transmembrane proteins amphipathic?
yes, transmembrane proteins have both polar and non-polar regions. This is because these proteins are dispersed through the membrane almost like pieces of stones. So, to be inside the hydrophobic region of the phospholipid bi-layer AND also outside of it in the water or aqueous solution they transmembrane protein needs to be amphipathic.
What membrane proteins are integral proteins?
Membranes bound within the cell membrane. Integral proteins extend from one side of the membrane to the other.
Are carrier proteins peripheral membrane proteins?
The cell membranes that can act as channels are called integral proteins. Peripheral proteins are the ones that are attached to just one side of the cell membrane.
The carrier proteins that help in facilitated diffusion are what kind of proteins?
Integral proteins
What are facts about integral membrane proteins?
They are usually transmembrane proteins.

In order for a protein to be an integral protein it would have to be what?
amphipathic
In order for a protein to be an integral membrane protein it would have to be what?
the whole protein must be amphipathic but the surface itself must be hydrophobic.
What is another name for integral proteins?
Integral proteins can be receptors, but not all integral proteins are. Therefore you cannot use the terms integral and receptor interchangeably. Integral proteins are proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane, and span the width (go from one side to the other). Receptor proteins are found on the surface of a cell and receive signals from other cells or the environment.
What membrane proteins are integral proteins?
Membranes bound within the cell membrane. Integral proteins extend from one side of the membrane to the other.
Are carrier proteins peripheral membrane proteins?
The cell membranes that can act as channels are called integral proteins. Peripheral proteins are the ones that are attached to just one side of the cell membrane.

Integral proteins
What are facts about integral membrane proteins?
They are usually transmembrane proteins.
What is intergral proteins?
Integral proteins are membrane proteins that are permanently attached to the membrane phospho lipid bilayer.ATPase enzyme is an example for the integral proteins which make ATP. Peripheral proteins in contrast present on the surface of the membrane.
What are the 5 types of integral proteins?
Channel proteins carrier proteins cell recognition proteins receptor proteins enzymatic proteins
What is another name for integration?
Another name for integral proteins is integral membrane proteins.Most are transmembrane proteins, which span the entire depth of the membrane.
What carrier proteins help in facilitated diffusion in the cell membrane?
Integral proteins.
