Membrane Microdomains

Membrane Microdomains is a specialized region within the lipid bilayer that differs from the surrounding membrane in its composition, physical properties, and function, often enriched in cholesterol, sphingolipids, and specific proteins to facilitate cellular signaling and trafficking processes.
