Plasma membranes: phospholipid and sterol content

Plasma membranes: phospholipid and sterol content

L A Ashworth et al. Science. .

Abstract

The molar ratios of sterol to phospholipid in plasma membranes of five different types of rat cells range from 0.24 to 1.32. The composition of the plasma membrane of a cell has no fixed relation to that of the mitochondria. Thus the structure of cellular membranes shows both tissue and functional specificity.
