Endothelial Cell Membrane

Molecular classification
Cell Membrane, Lipid Bilayer, Receptor, Adhesion Molecule, Enzyme, Ion Channel
01

Overview

The endothelial cell membrane is the plasma membrane of endothelial cells, forming a single-cell layer lining all blood and lymphatic vessels. It plays a central role in vascular biology, mediating barrier function, vascular tone regulation, hemostasis, inflammation, immunity, and angiogenesis. It contains various receptors, adhesion molecules, enzymes (e.g., eNOS), and ion channels.
