First, the molecule anchors itself to the surface of the membrane, before it penetrates the membrane in a direction perpendicular to it. In the next step, it changes its three-dimensional structure while passing through the membrane, rotating once along the longitudinal axis before reaching the opposite side of the membrane, where it exits the membrane again
