| membrane potentials | Ratio of inside versus outside concentration of potassium, sodium, chloride and other ions in diffusible tissues or cells. Also called transmembrane and resting potentials, they are measured by recording electrophysiologic responses in voltage-dependent ionic channels of (e.g.) nerve, muscle and blood cells as well as artificial membranes. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| membrane protein | <protein> A protein with regions permanently attached to a membrane (peripheral membrane protein) or inserted into a membrane integral membrane protein). Insertion into a membrane implies hydrophobic domains in the protein. All transport proteins are integral membrane proteins. (18 Nov 1997) |
| membrane proteins | Proteins which are found in membranes including cellular and intracellular membranes. They consist of two types, peripheral and integral proteins. They include most membrane-associated enzymes, antigenic proteins, transport proteins, and drug, hormone, and lectin receptors. (12 Dec 1998) |
| membrane recycling | <cell biology> The process whereby membrane is internalised, fuses with an internal membranous compartment and is then re incorporated into the plasma membrane. In cells that are actively secreting by an exocrine method (in which secretory granules fuse with the plasma membrane), it is obviously essential to have some way of reducing the area of the plasma membrane. The membrane can then be used to form new secretory vesicles. The converse is true for phagocytic cells. (18 Nov 1997) |
| membrane transport | <cell biology> The transfer of a substance from one side of a plasma membrane to the other, in a specific direction and at a rate faster than diffusion alone. See: active transport. (18 Nov 1997) |
| membrane vesicle | <cell biology> Closed unilamellar shells formed from membranes either in physiological transport processes or else when membranes are mechanically disrupted. They form spontaneously when membrane is broken because the free ends of a lipid bilayer are highly unstable. (18 Nov 1997) |
| membrane zippering | <cell biology> Process suggested to occur in phagocytosis in which the membrane of the phagocyte covers the particle by a progressive adhesive interaction. The evidence for such a mechanism comes from experiments in which capped B-cells are only partially internalised, whereas those with a uniform opsonising coat of antiIgG are fully engulfed. (18 Nov 1997) |
| membrane-bound proton-translocating PPi synthase | <enzyme> From rhodospirillum rubrum; functions as an alternative coupling factor; n,n'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide-sensitive; catalyses the phosphorylation of pi to ppi, the hydrolysis of ppi and the concomitant translocation of proton across the plasma membrane Registry number: EC 3.6.1.- Synonym: h(+)-ppi synthase (26 Jun 1999) |
| membrane-coating granule | A membrane-bound granule, 100 to 500 nm in diameter, located in the upper layers of the stratum spinosum of certain stratified squamous epithelia. Synonym: lamellar granule, membrane-coating granule, Odland body. (05 Mar 2000) |

| membranes | Thin layers of tissue which cover parts of the body, separate adjacent cavities, or connect adjacent structures. (12 Dec 1998) |
| basal membrane of saemicircular duct | The basal membrane underlying the epithelium of the saemicircular duct. Synonym: membrana basalis ductus saemicircularis, basal lamina of saemicircular duct. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| basement membrane | <cell biology> Extracellular matrix characteristically found under epithelial cells. There are two distinct layers: the basal lamina, immediately adjacent to the cells, is a product of the epithelial cells themselves and contains collagen type IV and the reticular lamina is produced by fibroblasts of the underlying connective tissue and contains fibrillar collagen. (15 Nov 1997) |
| basilar membrane | A thin layer of tissue covered with mesothelial cells that separates the cochlea from the scala tympani in the ear. (18 Nov 1997) |
| basolateral plasma membrane | <cell biology> The plasma membrane of epithelial cells that is adjacent to the basal lamina or the adjoining cells of the sheet. Differs both in protein and phospholipid composition from the apical plasma membrane from which it is isolated by tight junctions (zonula occludentes). (18 Nov 1997) |
| Bichat's membrane | The inner elastic membrane of arteries. (05 Mar 2000) |
| black membrane | <chemistry> An artificial phospholipid membrane formed by painting a solution of phospholipid in organic solvent over a hole in a hydrophobic support immersed in water. Drainage of the solvent from the film produces diffraction colours until the thickness falls below the wavelength of light it then appears to be black. The structure is an extended bimolecular leaflet. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Bogros' serous membrane | A membrane of the episcleral space (of Tenon). (05 Mar 2000) |
| Bowman's membrane | A transparent homogeneous acellular layer, 6 to 9 um thick, lying between the basal lamina of the outer layer of stratified epithelium and the substantia propria of the cornea; considered to be a basement membrane.

| bruch membrane | The membrane, also called the lamina basalis choroideae, that acts as a support structure on the inner side of the choroid (the vascular sheet that supplies the retinal pigment epithelium and the outer portion of the sensory retina adjacent to it). It is 7 microns thick and is composed of the basement membranes of the choriocapillaris endothelium and the retinal pigment epithelium. The membrane stops at the optic nerve, as does the retinal pigment epithelium. (12 Dec 1998) |
