Overview

Intracellular membranes are thin sheets of lipids and proteins that enclose cells, controlling what enters and leaves the cell. They form a barrier allowing the cell to exchange materials and energies while maintaining its identity. The cell membrane separates the components within a cell from the external environment. Intracellular membranes are essential for cells to survive and are involved in a wide range of cellular processes, including cell signalling and energy production. Additionally, intracellular membranes are involved in the transport of molecules and ions that are essential for proper functioning of the cell. Intracellular membranes are critical to a cell’s metabolic activity and its ability to communicate with other cells.
