Schematic representation of transmembrane proteins: 1) a single-pass membrane protein 2) a multipass membrane protein (α-helix) 3) a multipass membrane protein β-sheet. The membrane is represented in light yellow. A transmembrane protein is a type of integral membrane protein that spans the entirety of the cell membrane.

Schematic representation of transmembrane proteins: 1. a single transmembrane α-helix (bitopic membrane protein) 2. a polytopic transmembrane α-helical protein 3. a polytopic transmembrane β-sheet protein The membrane is represented in light-brown.
The image depicts a conceptual diagram of transmembrane protein 217. The protein is given from N-terminus to C-terminus with predicted cellular, transmembrane and extracellular domains present (colored blue, grey, and orange respectively). The most highly conserved predicted post-translational modifications are provided as well.
These transmembrane proteins possess a large number of alpha helices immersed in the lipid matrix. In bacteria these proteins are present in the beta lamina form. [4] This structure probably involves a conduit through hydrophilic protein environments that cause a disruption in the highly hydrophobic medium formed by the lipids. [1]
Structural Details of TMEM241 Isoform 1 Alpha helix wheel diagram of TMEM241 isoform 1 showing hydrophobic and hydrophilic region interactions with lipid membrane.. TMEM241 is composed of 9 transmembrane domains forming a hydrophobic integral component of the membrane [2] composed primarily of alpha helices.
Transmembrane proteins – including junctional adhesion molecule, occludin, and claudin. It is believed that claudin is the protein molecule responsible for the selective permeability between epithelial layers.
The seven-transmembrane α-helix structure of a G-protein-coupled receptor. Cell surface receptors (membrane receptors, transmembrane receptors) are receptors that are embedded in the plasma membrane of cells. [1] They act in cell signaling by receiving (binding to) extracellular molecules.
