Help with the nervous system?

Question

I can't find the answer to this question:
What are the membrane proteins that are found in neurons? Remember to think about dentrites as well as axons

Answer 1

There are a huge number of membrane proteins that are found in neurons. Perhaps the context of the question might give you some help. There are lots of different ion channels, and these are probably the most integral to the unique function of neurons.

These ion channels are both ligand and voltage gated; i.e. they are opened by chemicals as well as electrical changes within the cell.

If this question is in regards to how neurons generate the action potential, then perhaps the question is voltage gated ion channels.

Answer 2

i would go with synapses..not sure tho it might be a glycoprotein or a transport protein which opens when the concentraion of calicium ions and potassium ions diffuse.
