There are four groups of intramembrane proteases, distinguished by their catalytic mechanism: [5]. Metalloproteases: Site-2 protease (S2P) and S2P-like proteases [9]; Aspartyl proteases: this group includes presenilin, the active subunit of gamma secretase [10] [11] and signal peptide peptidases (SPPs) and SPP-like proteases, which are distantly related to presenilin but have opposite membrane ...
Although membrane proteins play an important role in all organisms, their purification has historically, and continues to be, a huge challenge for protein scientists. In 2008, 150 unique structures of membrane proteins were available, [14] and by 2019 only 50 human membrane proteins had had their structures elucidated. [13]
These closed membranes are double membrane-bond, with lysosomes inside it. The main function of these membrane is degradation, as role in cellular homeostasis. However, the origin of them has remained unclear. Maybe it is the plasma membrane, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondria. But the ER- mitochondria contact site have markers ...

Galactoside permease is a protein coded by the lacY gene of the lac operon, and is found bound to the membrane of a cell for the purpose of binding galactoside molecules that have been solubilized. The protein is part of a system whose main function is to catalyze the accumulation and transport of lactose and other beta-galactosides across the ...
Lactose permease is a membrane protein which is a member of the major facilitator superfamily.Lactose permease can be classified as a symporter, which uses the proton gradient towards the cell to transport β-galactosides such as lactose in the same direction into the cell.
All of the enzymes for the citric acid cycle are in the matrix (e.g. citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, fumarase, and malate dehydrogenase) except for succinate dehydrogenase which is on the inner membrane and is part of protein complex II in the electron transport chain.
Structure of a flippase, showing the two major subunits of the enzyme. Flippases are transmembrane lipid transporter proteins located in the cell membrane.They are responsible for aiding the movement of phospholipid molecules between the two layers, or leaflets, that compose the membrane (transverse diffusion, also known as a "flip-flop" transition).
