cell body membrane
Definition
Target type: cellularcomponent
The plasma membrane of a cell that bears surface projections such as axons, dendrites, cilia, or flagella, excluding the plasma membrane on cell projections. [GOC:ecd]
The cell body membrane, also known as the plasma membrane, is the outermost boundary of the cell body, encompassing the cytoplasm and its organelles. It is a phospholipid bilayer, with a hydrophilic head facing the aqueous environment inside and outside the cell and a hydrophobic tail forming the core of the membrane. This structure acts as a selective barrier, regulating the passage of molecules and ions in and out of the cell.
The cell body membrane is embedded with a variety of proteins, including integral membrane proteins that span the membrane and peripheral membrane proteins that associate with the membrane surface. These proteins have diverse functions, including:
* **Transport:** Channel proteins and carrier proteins facilitate the movement of specific molecules and ions across the membrane, playing a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
* **Signaling:** Receptor proteins bind to signaling molecules, triggering intracellular pathways and mediating communication between cells.
* **Cell Adhesion:** Adhesion proteins connect the cell body to other cells and the extracellular matrix, providing structural support and contributing to tissue formation.
* **Enzymatic Activity:** Some membrane proteins exhibit enzymatic activity, catalyzing specific biochemical reactions.
In addition to proteins, the cell body membrane also contains cholesterol, glycolipids, and other lipids, contributing to its fluidity and stability. These components collectively ensure the membrane's structural integrity and functional versatility.'
