Neuronal membrane and Mechanisms Appeared on the Membrane Surface

Abstract

Most mechanisms involved in neuronal maintenance and function are activated at the neuronal membrane. Membrane-related molecular agents, which interact in protein/lipid clusters to begin molecular processing and signal transduction, are required for these functions. Furthermore, many neuropathological disorders originate in this structure and/or are the result of membrane malfunction. Although the precise molecular mechanisms for maintaining "membrane health" are unknown in most cases, it appears that the effects of different lipids on the microstructural and stoichiometric properties of the membrane influence the behavior and association of proteins within the lipid environment, which determines the final cell response. This review is mainly focused on the function of neuronal membrane like substance exchange, cell signaling, etc.
