Respuesta :
Yes albumin is a membrane protein.
Membrane proteins represent about a third of the proteins in living organisms. Based on their structure, there are main three types of membrane proteins, the first one is integral membrane protein that is usually permanently anchored or part of the membrane, the second type is peripheral membrane protein that is only temporarily attached to the lipid bilayer or to other integral proteins, and the third one is lipid-anchored proteins.
Albumin is a single chain protein with low molecular weight which is containing 585 amino acids. It is a simple protein, non-glycosylated polypeptide, hydrophobic patches/cavities, and it also lacks prosthetic groups. Human albumin gene is located on chromosome 4 q (11-22) and mutations of this gene will end in anomalous protein. This gene has around 1691 nucleotide and contains 14 introns and 15 exons.3-6 Albumin structure is composed of three domains which are usually homologous in structural features.
