    Abstract

    Membrane proteins perform some of the most important functions in the cell, including the regulation of cell signaling through surface receptors, cell-cell interactions, and the intracellular compartmentalization of organelles. Recent developments in proteomic strategies have focused on the inclusion of membrane proteins in high-throughput analyses. While slow and steady progress continues to be made in gel-based technologies, significant advances have been reported in non-gel shotgun methods using liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC/MS). These latter strategies facilitate the identification of large numbers of membrane proteins and modifications, and have the potential to provide insights into protein topology and orientation in membranes.
