Static and dynamic lipid asymmetry in cell membranes

It appeared that living cells had developed elaborate mechanisms to control the transmembrane distribution of phospholipids. The resulting lipid asymmetry could no longer be considered as a passive and unimportant phenomenon. This paper will focus on the dynamic aspects of lipid asymmetry in eukaryo...

Zusammenfassung:	It appeared that living cells had developed elaborate mechanisms to control the transmembrane distribution of phospholipids. The resulting lipid asymmetry could no longer be considered as a passive and unimportant phenomenon. This paper will focus on the dynamic aspects of lipid asymmetry in eukaryotes. Present ideas on the role of transmembrane lipid traffic will be discussed.
