Control of Fusion of Biological Membranes by Phospholipid Asymmetry

  • Chapter

Abstract

Membrane fusion is one of the most fascinating properties of cellular membranes important for the homeostasis of the cell (organism). Cell-division, sperm-egg fusion and polykaryon formation in muscle and bone are typical examples of intercellular fusion reactions. Those natural cell-cell fusion processes lead to significant physiological and developmental changes. Intracellular fusion events are involved in endocytosis, exocytosis, intracellular transport and targeting. Viral infection and parasite invasion are other meaningful biological phenomenons depending on membrane fusion processes.
