Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Expert subject Medicine date November 2008 The otolithic membrane is a gelatinous biological membrane membrane located in the vestibular apparatus of the inner ear , and plays an essential role in the brain s interpretation of equilibrium. Both the saccular macula and utricular macula are covered by an otolithic membrane, thus providing the common name of the otoliths to the Utricle ear utricle and saccule . The membrane is composed of crystalline particles of calcium carbonate called otolith otoliths . When the head is moved the otoliths shift, causing cilia in the nearby saccule and Utricle ear utricle to distort. This produces nerve signals which are sent to the brain, which then uses them to establish its sense of balance. The embedded crystals are very dense and make the density of the otolithic membrane higher than that of the endolymph surrounding it. When the head accelerates along a line or tilts to change its orientation to gravity, the otolithic membrane shifts relative to the bone supporting the maculae. This shift bends the hair cells whose processes are embedded in the otolithic membrane. Category Vestibular system DEFAULTSORT Otolithic Membrane Med stub ... more details
Unreferenced date December 2009 In biochemistry , the membrane topology of an transmembrane protein describes which portions of the amino acid amino acid sequence of the protein lie within the plane of the surrounding lipid bilayer and which portions protrude into the watery environment on either side. More succinctly, the membrane topology describes which regions of the polypeptide chain span the membrane. Description Because biochemists know the hydrophobicity of amino acids individually, the membrane topology of a protein and indeed whether or not it is an integral membrane protein in the first place often may be predicted accurately on the basis of a protein s sequence alone which of course in turn may be predicted solely from the DNA sequence nucleotide sequence of a gene . Such predictions are most reliably based on the assumption that the lipid bilayer spanning portions of a transmembrane protein will assume an transmembrane helix alpha helical secondary structure . Since membrane topology is frequently the first available structural information about a protein after sequencing, integral membrane proteins are often classified or grouped according to this feature. In classifying proteins in this way, biologists look at the number of times the peptide chain is predicted to cross the membrane and may in fact name a class on this basis e.g. G protein coupled receptor 7TM receptors . Membrane topology predictions also can be invaluable for developing antibodies, drugs or other reagents that will bind and or affect the function of the protein.
