Flagellar membranes are rich in raft-forming phospholipids

Flagellar membranes are rich in raft-forming phospholipids

The observation that the membranes of flagella are enriched in sterols and sphingolipids has led to the hypothesis that flagella might be enriched in raft-forming lipids. However, a detailed lipidomic analysis of flagellar membranes is not available. Novel protocols to detach and isolate intact flag...
