Membrane Protein-targeted Compound Library

Catalog No. L1520

Membrane proteins are a class of proteins widely found in biological cell membranes, playing essential roles in the structure and function of cells. Based on their location and function, membrane proteins can be classified into three main categories: peripheral membrane proteins, integral membrane proteins, and lipid-anchored proteins. Membrane proteins encompass a variety of functional proteins, including glycoproteins, carrier proteins, and enzymes. They are often linked to carbohydrate molecules, which can transmit signals into the cell by undergoing structural changes, participating in signal transduction processes. Membrane proteins perform a range of critical functions, including substance transport, signal transduction, cell recognition, and energy conversion. In drug development, membrane proteins, especially G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs), ion channels, and transporters, are of particular interest. Many diseases are related to the malfunction of specific membrane proteins. Therefore, drugs designed to target these proteins can regulate their activity, aiming to treat diseases. TargetMol has collected 6422 compounds that target membrane proteins, which can be used for membrane protein-related scientific research and drug screening, suitable for high-throughput and high-content screening.
