1
New cards

Peripheral membrane protein

Loosely attached to membrane's surface, can be removed easily, often involved in signaling and maintaining the cell's shape

2
New cards

Integral membrane protein

Permanently embedded in membrane, providing structural support, transporting substances, and facilitating communication

3
New cards

Lipid-anchored protein

Covalently attached to a lipid molecule, allowing it to associate with the membrane and participate in various cellular functions.

4
New cards

Oligosaccharide chains of glycoproteins

Carbohydrate structures attached to proteins, playing a crucial role in cell recognition, signaling, and adhesion.
