MeSH Heading: Carrier Proteins
Tree Number(s): D12.776.157
Unique ID: D002352
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D002352
Annotation: do not confuse entry term BINDING PROTEINS with PROTEIN BINDING; do not use CARRIER PROTEINS if the protein functions as a receptor: use instead the pertinent receptors term; not for antigenic carriers ( = ANTIGENS)
Scope Note: Proteins that bind or transport specific substances in the blood, within the cell, or across cell membranes.
Entry Term(s): Binding Protein; Binding Proteins; Carrier Protein; Transport Protein; Transport Proteins
