Transport proteins in eukaryotic cells and their uses in genetically modified plants

Overview of transport proteins in eukaryotes One of the most integral building blocks of life is the transport protein. These proteins can be found in the membranes of cells and their subcellular organelles, and are responsible for facilitating some of the most essential physiological processes. All of the information regarding transport proteins in this overview was found in Molecular Cell Biology 3rd Ed. by Lodish et al. (1995). Some of the processes transport membranes enable cells …
