Channel proteins are integral proteins (also transmembrane proteins) which has pores that allow passage of water and hydrophilic solutes through the cell membrane.
some are open while others are gates that can be open or close in respond to different stimuli:
1. Ligand gate---> in respond to chemical
2. Voltage gate---> in respond ot electrical potential across the plasma membrane
3. Mechanical gate--> in respond to physical stress on a cell (strech,pressure)

∙ 9y agoChannel protein is a transport protein that provides a tunnel through the membrane that is specific for what can enter in it.channel proteins are the transport proteins also called integral membrane proteins that the substances to move from one side of membrane to an other side . These channel proteins have specific charge and diameter and allows specific types of molecules to pass through it . For instance, potassium channels permit passage of potassium ions across the cell membrane 1000 times more readily than sodium ions.

What channel can help move things across the membrane?
Protein channels help move particles across the cell membrane
Give example of facilitated diffusion?
Glucose molecule going through the protein channel to enter and exit the cell. Hope I could help.
Is a protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a peripheral protein a trans membrane protein a phospholipid an enzyme or an entirely outside the phospholipid?
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein.
When was Transient receptor potential channel-interacting protein database created?
Transient receptor potential channel-interacting protein database was created in 2010.
What is aqua-protein?
an aqua protein is a channel protein which allows water to pass through a membrane during osmosis
What is a channel linked receptor?
A channel linked receptor transduces functions of the same protein molecule. An example of a channel linked receptor are neurotransmitters in the brain.
Through what type of proteins does active transport occur?
A carrier protein (as opposed to a channel protein). An example of a carrier protein is the Na+/K+ pump.
What channel can help move things across the membrane?
Protein channels help move particles across the cell membrane
What is a gated protein?
Its channel protein with flaps at the ends that act as gates
Give example of facilitated diffusion?
Glucose molecule going through the protein channel to enter and exit the cell. Hope I could help.
Is glycoprotein a channel protein?
Glycoprotein is a channel protein which contains oligosaccharide chains. They also consist of a carbohydrate which facilitates the various roles in the body.
Is a protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a peripheral protein a trans membrane protein a phospholipid an enzyme or an entirely outside the phospholipid?
A protein that forms an ion channel through a membrane is most likely to be a transmembrane protein.
What would the protein channel be if it was in a jail?

What is an example of a channel?
channel islands
What are the cell surface receptorss?
G-protein, ion-channel and enzyme-linked protein receptors.
