A schematic shows an amphipathic lipid with a hydrophilic polar head (circle) attached to two hydrophobic fatty-acyl tails, representing the canonical building block of biological membranes. In hierarchy, it is a small molecule within the lipid bilayer of the plasma membrane of a cell. In biochemistry and cell biology, this lipid self-assembles into bilayers, enabling selective permeability, compartmentalization, and membrane fluidity. The site of action is the plasma membrane and the membranes of intracellular organelles.
