Abstract
Lipid seperti sfingomielin, gliserofosfolipik dan kolesterol merupakan komponen utama yang membentuk serta mengekalkan kestabilan dan dinamik membran plasma eukariotik. Ciri-ciri fisikokimia dalam membran plasma amat dipengaruhi oleh kandungan kolesterol (Chol).
Lipids, such as sphingomyelins, glycero-phospholipids and cholesterol, represent the primary component of the cellular plasma membrane and provide the necessary stability and dynamics to support protein function. The physicochemical properties of the cellular plasma membrane are strongly influenced by cholesterol (Chol) content.
