otherfunctionseach cell has itsown finger printfunctions of proteinschannel proteinallows a molecule to cross the plasmamembrane, they form a channel that allowsa substance to move from one side to theothercystic fibrosis, an inherited disorder iscaused by a faulty chloride channelcarrier proteininteracts with a molecule so that it can cross theplasma membrane, they receive a substance and changetheir shape and this change serves to move thesubstance across the membranewithout this carrier protein nerve impulseconduction would be impossiblecell recognition proteinare glycoproteins that help the body to recognize when itis being invaded by pathogens so that an immuneresponse can occurwithout this recognition pathogens wouldbe able to freely invade the body andhinder its functionreceptor proteinhave a shape that allow sonly a specific molecule to bind toit, binding the molecule causes the protein to change itsshape and bring cellular responsecoordination of bodies organs is dependent onsuch signaling moleculesenzymatic proteincarry out metabolic reactions directly, catalyzesa specific reactionwouldn't be able to maintain a metabolismjunction proteinstight
