摘要
The existence of relatively large and long-lived detergent-insoluble, sphingolipid- and cholesterol-enriched, liquid-ordered lipid raft domains in the plasma membranes of eukaryotic cells has become widely accepted. However, we believe that the evidence for their existence is not compelling despite extensive work on both lipid bilayer model and biological membranes. We review here the results of recent studies, which in our view call into question the existence of lipid rafts in membranes, at least in the form commonly depicted. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd.
