What protein receives chemical messages for the cell?
The protein that receives chemical messages for the cell is usually a receptor protein. These proteins are located on the cell membrane and can bind to specific signaling molecules, such as hormones or neurotransmitters, to trigger a cellular response.
What is interior protein network?
An Interior Protein Network is when it anchors proteins to specific sites and determines the shape of the cell.
If a specific kind of protein is not continually used by a cell the gene for that protein is?
the gene is never expressed. ^^^^ this guy is a frickin idiot. and this would more of be in the cells/ biology section. What happens is a repressor binds to the operator and turns off the gene so the protein doesn't get made. and when its needed the repressor detaches and the gene is turned back on. ( this all happens on a strand of DNA )
A protein on the cell membrane binds and recognized to specific substance is called a?
It is called a receptor protein.
What part of the membrane would help a large protein molecule enter the cell?
Globular Proteins
Which type of membrane protein attaches to specific hormones such as insulin?
The type of membrane protein that attaches to specific hormones such as insulin is a receptor protein. Receptor proteins are specialized proteins located on the cell membrane that recognize and bind to specific molecules such as hormones, triggering a cellular response. In the case of insulin, its receptor protein on the cell membrane binds to insulin, leading to cellular uptake of glucose and other metabolic responses.
What are proteins made in cell?
The proteins that are made in the cell are the ones that the genes transcribe and thus translated into protein. Central dogma of biology is that a gene will transcribe mRNA which will then be translated into protein. Every cell has the entire human genetic code but will not produce all the possible protein. Genes are generally suppressed or inhibited. So some signal or some factor that will serve as an inhibitor of the suppressor of specific genes will cause a specific gene to be transcribed and thus specific proteins to be expressed. So in a cell whatever signals that induce transcription will make those specific proteins.
How are proteins targeted to specific destinations within the cell?
Proteins are targeted to specific destinations within the cell through a process called protein targeting. This involves specific signals within the protein sequence that direct it to the correct location. These signals can be recognized by targeting factors that help guide the protein to its destination, such as the endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, or mitochondria. Once at the destination, the protein is further processed and may be modified to carry out its specific function within the cell.
Dna makes what protein in a cell?
DNA does not manufacture specific proteins. It codes for many different proteins that depend upon the cell's function. Liver cells' DNA manufactures different proteins that match the function of the liver. Kidney cells' DNA manufactures different proteins that match the function of the kidneys.
What does dna have the instructions for making?
DNA has the instructions for making proteins, which are essential for building and maintaining the structures and functions of living organisms. The sequence of DNA bases acts as a code that is read by the cell to assemble specific amino acids into proteins.
What is Protein Trafficking?
Protein trafficking is the process by which proteins are transported within a cell or between different compartments of a cell. It involves the movement of proteins to specific destinations, such as organelles or the cell membrane, through various pathways such as vesicular transport and protein targeting signals. Proper protein trafficking is essential for cellular function and maintaining homeostasis.
What is the purpose and procedure of a protein pulldown experiment?
The purpose of a protein pulldown experiment is to identify and isolate specific proteins that interact with a target protein. The procedure involves immobilizing the target protein on a solid support, adding a cell lysate or protein mixture, allowing interactions to occur, washing away non-specific proteins, and then eluting the bound proteins for analysis.
