"The complex recognizes the right vessel, the right place on the cell surface and the right time for the cargo to be delivered. It does that by talking to the membrane fusion protein." More ...

For instance, the ER membrane protein complex (EMC) has been shown to play a crucial role in the insertion and folding of transmembrane domains (TMDs) in the ER. This large complex, composed of ...

Communication between oocytes and granulosa cells is essential for oocyte formation, dormancy, reawakening, and maturation.
