No, because there are two groups of integral proteins, one being Transmembrane proteins and the other beingIntegral monotopic proteins, with each of these having different features and characteristics making them look different. ---- This website was used as a source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integral_membrane_protein

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 is the function of the integral proteins?

Some integral proteins form "channels" or "pores". These channels are responsible for allowing specific types of ions to move through the cell membrane to go from the extracellular fluid to the cytosol of the internal side of the cell.


What proteins are on the surface of the cell membrane?

The cell membrane contains many integral membrane proteins (proteins permanently attached to the surface), over the entire of its surface. These may include integrins, cadherins, desmosomes, clathrin-coated pits, caveolaes, and different structures involved in cell adhesion (the binding of a cell to the membrane surface).


Two characteristics that almost all transport proteins share?

Most transport proteins are integral membrane proteins that span the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane. They often exhibit specificity for certain molecules or ions that they transport, helping regulate the movement of substances across the membrane.


Do all Oscillatoria cells look alike or is there differentiation of certain cells within the filament?

All Oscillatoria cells look alike and are similar in structure. There is no differentiation of certain cells within the filament. Each cell performs the same functions in terms of photosynthesis and reproduction.

Do all integral proteins move quickly?

No. The movement of integral proteins cannot be generalized. Integral proteins are those that are embedded into the cell membrane. A part of the protein might be a receptor outside the cell while the other end might extend into the cytoplasm. However, their movement depends on their function. Some integral proteins may not move and remain static whereas other may move to a different location in search of molecules called second messengers
