Enzyme
The protein you are referring to is likely a transporter protein, which is responsible for facilitating the transport of specific molecules across the cell membrane. These transporter proteins bind to their target molecules on one side of the membrane and undergo a conformational change to transport the molecules to the other side. Examples include glucose transporters and ion channels.
Carrier proteins help facilitate the movement of certain substances across the cell membrane by binding to specific molecules and carrying them across. These proteins undergo conformational changes to transport the substances across the membrane.
Ion channel proteins are membrane proteins that allow specific charged ions, such as sodium, potassium, or calcium, to pass through from one side of the membrane to another. They play a critical role in maintaining cell function and communication.
Pore proteins are a type of membrane protein that form channels in cell membranes, allowing specific substances to pass through. These proteins play a crucial role in the regulation of nutrient uptake, waste removal, and cell signaling in various organisms. Examples include aquaporins for water transport and ion channels for ion movement.
Substances that can freely dissolve through the plasma membrane are generally small and nonpolar molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and ethanol. These molecules are able to pass through the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane without requiring a specific transport protein.
An Integral Membrane Protein Assists A Specific Substances Across The Membrane.
Channel proteins are a type of protein found in the cell membrane that regulate the passage of specific ions or molecules into or out of the cell. These proteins form channels or pores that allow substances to pass through the membrane, controlling the movement of substances across the cell membrane.

Helps substances move in and out of the cell
Facilitated diffusion is the movement of substances from higher to lower concentration across a semipermeable membrane with the help of specific protein carriers, without requiring energy input.
A gated protein is a protein that can open or close a gate in a cell membrane, regulating the flow of ions or molecules across the membrane. This process allows for the selective transport of specific substances in and out of cells, contributing to cellular function and signaling.
A channel protein in cellular transport acts as a passageway for specific molecules to move in and out of the cell, helping to regulate the flow of substances across the cell membrane.
