Term Information

Accession: GO:0045121
Name: membrane raft
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: lipid raft, GEM domain, glycolipid-enriched membrane domain
Alternate IDs: None
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. Source: PMID:16645198, PMID:20044567
