Abstract
The plasma membrane encloses the cell, defines its boundaries, and maintains the essential differences between the cytosol and the extracellular environment. Thus, their integrity is essential for life. There are three major lipids, phospholipid, sphingolipid, and cholesterol, on cell membranes. In this Chapter, we will discuss what we have known about these lipids, their role in cell membrane formation, and their impact on cell membrane functions.
