In secretory cells such as gonadotropes, the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane is associated with a dense meshwork of actin filaments (termed cortical actin) and actin binding proteins that play ...

Cells are surrounded by a membrane - the plasma membrane - which acts as a physical barrier but must also be malleable. These properties are endowed by the constituent components of membranes - lipids ...

Excitatory amino acid transporters (EAATs) present on the plasma membrane regulate and modulate glutamate neurotransmission by taking up released glutamate from the extracellular space back into ...

In this diagram of G-protein-coupled receptor activation, the alpha, beta, and gamma subunits are shown with distinct relationships to the plasma membrane. After exchange of GDP with GTP on the ...
