Term Information

Accession
GO:0017121
Name
plasma membrane phospholipid scrambling
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
PL scrambling, phospholipid scrambling
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The movement of a population of phospholipid molecules from one leaflet of the plasma membrane bilayer to the opposite leaflet, resulting in loss of lipid asymmetry and surface exposure of phosphatidylserine (PS) and phosphatidylethanolamine (PE). Source: PMID:20302864, PMID:20043909, GOC:cjm
Comment
Note that this term describes the trans-bilayer motion of a population of phospholipid molecules, and should not be confused with 'phospholipid translocation ; GO:0045332'.
