scaffolding protein
G-proteins are regulatory proteins associated with membrane-bound receptor molecules. They facilitate signal transduction by relaying messages from activated receptors to other intracellular signaling components.
Receptor proteins are embedded in the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane.

The four main types of proteins found in a cell membrane are integral proteins, peripheral proteins, glycoproteins, and channel proteins. Integral proteins are embedded within the lipid bilayer, while peripheral proteins are attached to the surface of the membrane. Glycoproteins have carbohydrate chains attached to them, and channel proteins help facilitate the movement of specific substances across the membrane.
Integral membrane proteins: embedded within the lipid bilayer. Peripheral membrane proteins: bound to the membrane surface. Receptor proteins: involved in cell signaling and communication. Channel proteins: facilitate the passage of ions and molecules across the membrane.
Receptor proteins are typically membrane proteins, meaning they are located on the cell membrane.

The transport of nutrients and waste across the cell membrane would be least affected by defective receptor proteins. This is because transport proteins, not receptor proteins, are primarily responsible for moving molecules across the cell membrane.

It is called a receptor protein.
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.
The three main types of proteins associated with the membrane in a hormone receptor context are: 1) G-proteins, which transduce signals from the receptor to intracellular effectors; 2) receptor tyrosine kinases, which initiate a cascade of phosphorylation events upon ligand binding; and 3) adaptor proteins, which facilitate the interaction between the receptor and downstream signaling pathways. These proteins collectively enable cellular responses to hormones by relaying and amplifying signals initiated at the membrane.
