Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Lipid rafts are specialized microdomains in the cell membrane rich in sphingolipids and cholesterol. They play a crucial role in facilitating cellular processes, including signal transduction and communication with the external environment, by organizing and concentrating specific proteins involved in these processes.
