Several techniques are used to study membrane embedded proteins:
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): This technique uses antibodies to detect specific proteins in tissue sections. It is widely used to study the distribution and localization of membrane proteins in different tissues.
- Western Blotting: This method helps in the identification and quantification of proteins extracted from cells or tissues, providing information about protein expression levels.
- Cryo-Electron Microscopy: This advanced technique allows for the visualization of membrane protein structures at near-atomic resolution, helping to understand their function and mechanism.
