Abstract

As a barrier between intracellular and extracellular environment, plasma membrane (PM) proteins play crucial roles in cell communication, cell recognition, signaling and molecular transport. Thus, detection of changes in PM proteome could lead to identification of novel biomarkers for disease diagnostics and development of novel drug targets for therapeutics.  Current development of mass spectrometry technologies has made it possible to study a snapshot of all proteins presented in the system; however, there are some limitations for the PM proteomic study. Main challenges result from their low abundance and their hydrophobic property. This review focuses on principles and applications of commonly used and advanced approaches for enrichment of the PM proteins, in order to increase their purity and deplete contaminating proteins from other organelles.  Since each method has its own advantages and limitations, careful consideration for sample preparation techniques could help enhancing PM proteins identification and quantification to elucidate their roles in disease-associated cellular responses. Keywords :  plasma membrane, proteomics, mass spectrometry, nanoparticle pellicle, biotinylation
