How can you use “membrane-spanning” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

On the basis of comparative structural predictions of all mammalian TMCs we propose a basic topology of the generic TMC protein with variable intracellular amino- and carboxyl-termini, a conserved core with eight membrane-spanning domains, and some variability in the length of several intra- and extracellular loops (Figure 2).
The initial accumulation of LHCPs in the chloroplast envelope implies that Chl interacts with these proteins, likely by binding to the conserved motif in the first membrane-spanning region (helix-1) [ 25 26 ] when transit through the envelope is initiated.
All identified proteins have eight predicted membrane-spanning domains (TM1 - TM8) and share the completely conserved amino acid triplet C (cysteine) - W (tryptophan) - E (glutamic acid), predicted to be located in the extracellular loop upstream of TM6 (Figure 2).
The TMC protein family has eight members in vertebrates and forms three subfamilies, A, B, and C. TMCs are proteins with a conserved core of eight membrane-spanning domains.
However, the question of what plasma membrane-spanning protein serves as the scaffold for Shc binding and beyond remains to be answered.
