Act as selective barriers to control molecule movement.
Hydrophilic dissolve in water; hydrophobic do not.
Specialized membrane domains that organize signaling molecules.
Form the bilayer structure due to their amphipathic nature.
Fluidity increases due to decreased tail interactions.
Stiffens the membrane and maintains its fluidity.
They span the membrane and have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions.
Form a carbohydrate layer for protection and cell recognition.
Create barriers that restrict protein movement to specific areas.
Catalyze the transfer of phospholipids between bilayer layers.
Different lipid compositions on each side influence function.
Provides structural support to the plasma membrane.
Their movement is restricted to specific membrane domains.
They facilitate the formation of lipid bilayers.
Membranes are formed in the ER and transported via vesicles.
