They have a few key roles.

1. Inter-cellular communication - eg. receptors for enzymes.

2. Transport: Proteins form transporters or channels, allowing substances to pass into and out of the cell. This can be passively (eg. aquaporins) or actively (the Na/K ATPase pump)

3. Immune functions - eg. antigens.

4. Structure. Some cells use proteins to maintain complex structures, as the phospholipid bilayer defaults to a simple spherical blob without them (and supporting carbohydrates of course)!
