General Information
Term membrane raft ID (Ontology) GO:0045121 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Any of the small (10-200 nm), heterogeneous, highly dynamic, sterol- and sphingolipid-enriched membrane domains that compartmentalize cellular processes. Small rafts can sometimes be stabilized to form larger platforms through protein-protein and protein-lipid interactions.[ PubMed:16645198 PubMed:20044567 ]
Also Known As "lipid raft"
