As you will begin to realize as you progress through this book, there are thousands of different membrane proteins. These proteins serve a diverse number of functions.

In future chapters we will do the following to elaborate the attributes of membrane proteins:

•Define their functions (e.g., cell adhesion, intercellular communication)

•Characterize various types including enzymes, channels, adhesion molecules

•Show that some proteins float freely in the lipid bilayer

•Show many proteins are attached to the cytoskeleton

•Reveal that the types of membrane proteins are also classified based upon isolation techniques as integral or peripheral
