Transport proteins are responsible for controlling what goes in and out of cells. These proteins are embedded in the cell membrane and facilitate the movement of specific molecules across the membrane. Examples include ion channels, carriers, and pumps.

The Bence Jones protein is found in the blood or urine of a patient with?

The Bence Jones protein is a type of monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain that is found in the blood or urine of patients with multiple myeloma, a type of blood cancer that affects plasma cells in the bone marrow. The presence of Bence Jones protein in the urine, known as Bence Jones proteinuria, is a key diagnostic marker for multiple myeloma. Detection of Bence Jones protein in the blood or urine can also indicate other conditions such as Waldenström macroglobulinemia or amyloidosis.


What blood type is a universal door?

The universal donor is blood type O. O can be injected into any other blood type because of the way blood works. Basically there are certain types of protein that cover the outsides of the red blood cells that compose blood. If someone has the A protein, he has type A and same with Type B. However, type AB has both types of protein on its "coat." Lastly, O has no protein attached to its cells and can "get along" with any other blood type. Another interesting point is that the blood type AB is considered the universal recipient because it can receive any kind of blood.


Are a special type of protein that controls all of a cell's chemistry?

it depends on what you mean. deoxyribose nucleic acid, or DNA, controls the overall cell and its functions, while adenosine tri-phosphate, or ATP powers the cell through metabolism. though, ATP isn't really a protein...so what you're looking for is probably DNA.

What type of molecules insulin?

Insulin is a hormone released by the beta cells in your pancreas, when there is glucose (sugar) in your blood. Insulin goes through the blood stream and basically tells the cells of the body that there is glucose in the blood stream. and the cells respond to it by stopping glucagon breakdown, start making glucagon, taking up glucose into the cells with glucose transporters. A hormone is a molecule that is released in one part of the body, but works in another.
