Peripheral membrane proteins are proteins that adhere only temporarily to the biological membrane with which they are associated. These molecules attach to integral membrane proteins, or penetrate the peripheral regions of the lipid bilayer. The regulatory protein subunits of many ion channels and transmembrane receptors, for example, may be defined as peripheral membrane proteins.
Peripheral proteins. Attached to the surface of the membrane, often to integral proteins. Attachments of membrane proteins to the cytoskeleton on the cytoplasmic side and fibers of the extracellular matrix on the exterior provide a supportive framework for the plasma membrane.
