1
Read Chapter 5. Today: - membranes that line body cavities - ***the cell membrane
2
Membranes in the body line a body cavity
or are between two compartments.
3
Why have a cell membrane?
- isolate the cell cytosol (intracellular fluid) from extracellular fluid - regulate exchange with the environment ions, nutrients, wastes, secretions - cell communicates with the environment eg. receptor proteins bind signaling molecules - structural support cellular junctions, anchor cytoskeletal proteins
4
What are the components of the cell membrane
and what are their functions?
5
What are the components of the cell membrane and what are their functions?
6
Lots of phospholipids.
10
Integral mb proteins are tightly associated to mb
(eg. membrane spanning). Associated protein is loosely bound to mb (eg. enzymes, some structural).
11
An example of a membrane spanning protein.
12
Functions of membrane proteins:
1. Structural proteins (junctions, cytoskeleton) 3. Receptors – bind a signaling molecule (ligand) 2. Enzymes – reactions cell membrane (digestion, signaling) 4. Transporters - channels - water filled pore - carrier proteins - bind molecule to be carried across
13
1. Structural proteins:junctions
Functions of membrane proteins:

1. Structural proteins: cytoskeleton
Functions of membrane proteins:
15
3. Enzymes 2. Cell membrane receptor protein
Functions of membrane proteins:
16
3. Channel proteins are gated.
17
Gating of a channel protein:
18
How are the channels gated (opened)
How are the channels gated (opened)? Voltage gated, chemically gated, mechanically gated.
19
4. Facilitated diffusion by a carrier protein:
- never a continuous pore
20
Facilitated diffusion by a carrier protein:
21
How can lipids enter a cell?
23
How can glucose enter a cell?
24
Facilitated diffusion by a carrier protein:
G G G
25
How can calcium (Ca++) enter a cell?
26
Calcium enters through a calcium channel
27
How does insulin bind onto a cell?
28
Insulin receptor protein
