Here, a transport vesicle from the Golgi or elsewhere in the cell merges its membrane with the plasma membrane and releases its contents. In this way, membranes are continually recycled and reused ...

A plasma membrane is permeable to specific molecules that a cell needs. Transport proteins in the cell membrane allow for selective passage of specific molecules from the external environment.

Transporters that facilitate Pi translocation across cellular membranes are integral ... infer protein function and mechanism. By exploiting structural approaches, we are exploring questions ...

Based on the mechanism of intracellular transport of membrane proteins ... and its two homologs mediate endoplasmic reticulum-to-plasma membrane traffic of boric acid channels.

Despite this knowledge, the precise mechanism underlying ... the formation of abnormal spore plasma membranes. This finding suggests that cells efficiently transport membrane lipids and produce ...

These repair mechanisms are not limited to endothelial cells but are relevant to a wide range of cell types and have potential significant clinical implications. "Impaired plasma membrane repair ...
