MAC, also called " Mitochondrial Outer Membrane Permeabilization Pore " is regulated by various proteins, such as those encoded by the mammalian Bcl-2 family of anti-apoptopic genes, the homologs of the ced-9 gene found in C. elegans.

Membrane proteins often serve as receptors or provide channels for polar or charged molecules to pass through the cell membrane.

Membrane proteins, by contrast, are difficult to crystallize and are underrepresented in the PDB.

Membrane proteins contain internal channels that allow such molecules to enter and exit the cell.

Membrane proteins serving as receptors are sometimes tagged for downregulation by the attachment of ubiquitin.

Membrane receptor proteins, in neuronal and glial cells, allow cells to communicate with one another through chemical signals.

Membrane fusion is an essential event for viral infection and involves conformational changes of viral fusion proteins and protein docking.

Membrane proteins: Transmembrane proteins which reside in the ER contain sorting signals in their cytosolic tails which direct the protein to exit the Golgi and return to the ER.

Membrane viral fusion proteins are ideal targets for SOC analysis, as they exhibit up to ~ 60 % ( hundreds of ) mutations in public data bases.

Integral Membrane proteins are involved in diverse biological functions and are targeted by nearly 50 % of existing therapeutic drugs.

Membrane surface chemistry creates very important properties such as hydrophilicity or hydrophobicity ( related to surface free energy ), presence of ionic charge, membrane chemical or thermal resistance, binding affinity for particles in a solution, and biocompatibility ( in case of bioseparations ).

Membrane may be excessive in liver disease.

The preprotein with presequence targeted for the mitochondria is bound by receptors and the General Import Pore ( GIP ) ( Receptors and GIP are collectively known as Translocase of Outer Membrane or TOM ) at the outer membrane.

* Membrane contact sites, areas within cells where two organelles are held closely together

Membrane filters are widely used for filtering both drinking water and sewage.

Membrane filters are an effective form of tertiary treatment when it is desired to reuse the water for industry, for limited domestic purposes, or before discharging the water into a river that is used by towns further downstream.

Membrane dry suits are made from thin materials, and thus by themselves have little thermal insulation.

Membrane type suits are commonly used in the spring and autumn with moderate water temperatures, but Neoprene and hybrid dry suits for surface sports are preferred in cold water.

Straw bales can also be used as part of a Spar and Membrane Structure ( SMS ) wall system in which lightly reinforced 2 "-3 "-8 cm gunite or shotcrete skins are interconnected with extended " X " shaped light rebar in the head joints of the bales.

Membrane dynamics in the spines are modelled using integrate and fire processes.

Membrane filters are widely used in biotechnology and food and beverage applications where sterile product is required.

Membrane filters used in production processes are commonly made from materials such as mixester cellulose or polyethersulfone ( PES ).

Membrane keyboards, which work by electrical contact between the keyboard surface and the underlying circuits when keytop areas are pressed, were used with some early 1980s home computers, and have been much used in consumer electronics devices.

Membrane potentials are defined relative to the exterior of the cell ; thus, a potential of − 70 mV implies that the interior of the cell is negative relative to the exterior .</ ref >

Investigational methods of corneal endothelial surgical replacement include Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty ( DMEK ), in which the donor tissue consists only of Descemet's membrane and endothelium, and corneal endothelial cell replacement therapy, in which in vitro cultivated endothelial cells are transplanted.

Membrane dryers are primarily used with equipments that are especially sensitive to water vapor such as paint booths, two-part mixing equipment ( polyurethane sealants ), polyurea dispensers, PUR-applicators ( edge-banding equipment ), laser-cutting machinery, CMM's, industrial ink-jet printers, or even for laboratory use.

Similarly to the Membrane Cell, chloride ions are oxidized at the anode to produce chlorine, and at the cathode, water is split into caustic soda and hydrogen.

* Maintains one of the most active and productive Extra Corporeal Membrane Oxygenation ( ECMO ) centers in the United States, providing long-term cardiac and / or pulmonary bypass support for infants and children who are in life-threatening cardiac or cardio-respiratory failure in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit and the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit.

The scala vestibuli and scala media are separated by Reissner ’ s Membrane whereas the scala media and scala tympani are divided by the basilar membrane.
