What are the functions of transmembrane proteins?

Answer 1

Transmembrane proteins basically function as gates or docking sites that allow or prevent the entry or exit of materials across the cell membrane.

Transmembrane proteins are those that are found in the lipid membrane of cells and are responsible for transporting endogenous substances or exogenous substances across biological membranes.

Transmembrane proteins can be classified as either channels or carriers. G protein-coupled receptors are a subset of transmembrane proteins that function as switches on cell surfaces that allow extracellular signals to enter cells.
