Classification of Trispanins: A Diverse Group of Proteins That Function in Membrane Synthesis and Transport Mechanisms

As the structure and functions of proteins are correlated, investigating groups of proteins with the same gross structure may provide important insights about their functional roles. Trispanins, proteins that contain three alpha-helical transmembrane (3TM) regions, have not been previously studied c...
