A schematic of the plasma membrane (PM) showing a phospholipid bilayer at the cell surface. Integral membrane proteins, including channel and carrier proteins, span the bilayer, while peripheral proteins associate with the cytosolic leaflet. Cholesterol molecules intercalate among phospholipid tails, modulating fluidity. Extracellular glycoproteins and glycolipids bear oligosaccharide chains for cell recognition and signaling. In the hierarchy, the PM is a cellular structure containing embedded proteins. Relevant fields include cell biology and biochemistry; functions include selective permeability, transport, and signal transduction.
