Term Name: protein-membrane adaptor activity
Synonyms: anchoring, membrane-membrane adaptor activity, protein membrane adaptor, protein membrane adaptor activity, protein membrane anchor
Definition: The binding activity of a molecule that brings together a protein or a protein complex with a membrane, or bringing together two membranes, either via membrane lipid binding or by interacting with a membrane protein, to establish or maintain the localization of the protein, protein complex or organelle.
