membrane protein

membrane protein
a protein found in association with the cell membrane, either attached to (peripheral or extrinsic) or inserted in (integral or intrinsic) the membrane; possible roles include enzyme, receptor for a hormone or other molecule, and mediator of active or passive transport of lipid-insoluble substances across the membrane. See Plate 12.
