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

What is the function of the peripheral protein?
Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These molecules attach to integral membrane proteins, or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer. The regulatory protein subunits of many ion channels and transmembrane receptors, for example, may be defined as peripheral membrane proteins. In contrast to integral membrane proteins, peripheral membrane proteins tend to collect in the water-soluble component, or fraction, of all the proteins extracted during a protein purification procedure. Proteins with GPI anchors are an exception to this rule and can have purification properties similar to those of integral membrane proteins.
Do all cell membranes contain the same kind of proteins in the same relative locations?
No. Though all cell membranes have the same general characteristics outlined in any Biology textbook, they are all unique in type of proteins. Cell membranes between members of the same species will differ, and membranes within the same individual with differ also. The location of proteins will differ too, since they are subject to drifting and relocation. Some integral proteins will move slowly or not at all due to their connection to the cytoplasm, but others take advantage of the fluidity of the phospholipid bilayer.
How does the nucleus control the functions of life?
it controls all the activities of the cells and the cells transport proteins and you need proteins to be able to digest food, see, and move around.
Do glaciers move fast or slow or not at all?
actually glaciers move quite rapidly, they might not look like they are moving at all but in fact for their giant size they can move very quickly.
Are all proteins enzymes?
No, there are structural proteins, functional proteins [enzymes] and regulatory proteins. Are all enzymes proteins? Yes. Further, many proteins are closely associated with Rnas.
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.
Do all integral proteins look alike?
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 proteins stick into the cell membrane they can go part way or all the way through to the other side?
Integral

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).
Do glaciers move quickly slowly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Do glaciers slowly quickly or not at all?
Glaciers move slowly.
Does a sodium-potassium pump require an integral protein?
Yes, because integral proteins extend all the way though the cellular membrane which is necessary because potassium has to be brought from the outside of the cell to the inside and the sodium has to be brought from the inside of the cell to the outside.
How do you get over to the mysteirous man on counterfeit?
move the arrow a little to the right of you and then quickly move all the way to the left
