This chapter discusses some aspects of plasma membrane structure and function. It presents an overview of the possible significance for membrane function of the organizational disposition of membrane constituents. Mammalian cells are enclosed by the plasma membrane, called the "cell envelope," "cell ...

The human immunodeficiency virus type 1 Vpu protein tethered to the CD4 extracellular domain is localized to the plasma membrane and is biologically active in the secretory pathway of mammalian cells: implications for the mechanisms of Vpu function Virology, 220 (1996), pp. 141-151 Google Scholar...
The plasma membrane also regulates the movement of materials in and out of the cell and provides structure to the cells. In this video, we’ll look at what makes the plasma membrane and what it does. Phospholipid Bilayer Fluid Mosaic Model There’s a lot going on in the cell’s membrane...
