Adarsh · Answer

Lipids are not homogenously distributed in membranes, but that some are organized into microdomains in the bilayer, called ‘detergent-resistant membranes’ or ‘lipid rafts’ The lipids rafts are rich in sphingomyelin and cholesterol . The ability of select subsets of proteins to partition into different lipid microdomains has a good effects on their function, e.g. in T-cell receptor and neurotrophin signalling. The highly organized environment of the domains gives a signalling, trafficking and membrane fusion environment. Hope you understand my answer. ALL THE BEST..
