When a receptor protein acts as an enzyme, the receptor protein activates a second messenger that acts as a signal molecule within the cell.

Are proteins found in the cell membrane?

There are many uses for proteins in a cell membrane but the most common ones are: 1. Facilitated diffusion- a protein acts almost like a channel to allow molecules that cannot fit across the phospholipid bilayer to diffuse into/out of the cell 2. Active transport- proteins are used to move particles across the membrane from low to high concentration, using energy. 3. As receptor molecules which take signals from things like hormones.
