Vesicle trafficking and cell surface membrane patchiness.

Biophysical journal - 1 Jul 2001

Tang Q, Edidin M

Abstract excerpt

Membrane proteins and lipids often appear to be distributed in patches on the cell surface. These patches are often assumed to be membrane domains, arising from specific molecular associations. However, a computer simulation (Gheber and Edidin, 1999) shows that membrane patchiness may result from a combination of vesicle trafficking and dynamic barriers to lateral mobility. The simulation predicts that the...
