The five different activities performed by membrane proteins in multicellular organisms are enzymatic functions, transportation, signal transduction, cell recognition and intercellular joining. Enzymes in the membrane can do the same thing they do in the cytoplasm of a cell: transform a molecule into another form. Anchor proteins can physically link intracellular structures with extracellular structures. While, a membrane transport protein (or simply transporter) is a membrane protein involved in the movement of ions, small molecules, and macromolecules, such as another protein, across a biological membrane. The proteins may assist in the movement of substances by facilitated diffusion or active transport. The signal transduction originates at the membrane, where the clustering of signaling proteins is a key step in transmitting a message. The cell recognition proteins are glycoproteins that have several functions, such as recognition of pathogens. These proteins serve as a cell’s “identity badge”. If the cells of you immune system see a cell in your body that doesn’t have the correct glycoproteins sticking out of it. While, intercellular junctions are specialized regions of contact between the plasma membranes of adjacent cells. They are essential to any multicellular organism, providing the structural means by which groups of cells can adhere and interact.
