Membranes play a crucial role in cells by enclosing specific compartments and regulating the entry and exit of metabolites and other crucial components in and out of a cell.Â They also play a key role in signaling from plasma membrane receptors to the cell nucleus.Â Â
Â
The key constituents of cellular membranes are lipids and fatty acids.Â This kit involves the extraction of fatty acids and lipids as liposomes from a biological sample and their resolution by thin layer chromatography (TLC).
Â
Students will also understand the role of liposomes and their potential use of drug entrapment and delivery by viewing liposomes under a microscope.Â
