Ability to translocate into host cells and modulate reactive oxygen species production and apoptosis is made possible by porins, as well.
12.
As porins are the major outer membrane proteins, they also serve as receptor sites for the binding of phages and bacteriocins.
13.
OmpG forms a 14-stranded beta-barrel and in contrast to most porins, appears to function as a monomer.

There is no reason to have an article about porins AND lipopolysaccharides . talk ) 13 : 07, 6 November 2010 ( UTC)

However, channels called porins are present in the outer membrane that allow for passive transport of many ions, sugars and amino acids across the outer membrane.
16.
Porins are also recognized by TLR2, they bind complement factors ( C3b, C4b, factor H, and C4bp ( complement factor 4b-binding protein ) ).
17.
Glycerol 3-phosphate ( G3P ) and dihydroxyacetone phosphate ( DHAP ) are so small molecule that they can permeate mitochondrial outer membrane through porins and shuttle between two dehydroganases.
18.
Fluoroquinolones can enter cells easily via porins and, therefore, are often used to treat intracellular pathogens such as " Legionella pneumophila " and " Mycoplasma pneumoniae ".
19.
In gram-negative bacteria, the inner membrane is the major permeability barrier, whereas the outer membrane contains porins, which render it largely permeable to molecules less than about 1500 daltons.
20.
The cell wall of " N . gonorrhoeae " contains porins which are holes within the cell wall in which some molecules are able to diffuse into or out of the cell membrane.
