A transmembrane protein is a protein which is associated with the lipid bilayer in the membrane. The protein runs right through the membrane with both cytsolic and extracellular domains. Transmembrane proteins are amphipathic; the hydrophobic regions interact with lipid tails inside the lipid bilayer and the hydrophillic regions are exposed.
