Sphingomyelin and phosphatidylcholine are important components in the external leaflet of cellular plasma membranes. In this review we compare the structure of these lipid molecules, with emphasis on the differences in hydrogen bonding capacity and membrane properties that arise from the small but significant differences in molecular structure. The membrane properties of sphingomyelins and the implications that these have, or might have, in biological membranes and for raft function are further discussed.
鞘磷脂和磷脂酰胆碱是细胞质膜外层小叶中的重要成分。在本综述中，我们比较了这些脂质分子的结构，重点关注分子结构中微小但显著的差异所导致的氢键结合能力和膜性质的差异。我们还进一步讨论了鞘磷脂的膜性质及其在生物膜和脂筏功能方面已经或可能产生的影响。
