Phagosomal Membrane

Molecular classification: Lipid Bilayer, Cell Membrane, Vesicle Membrane

Overview

The phagosomal membrane is the lipid bilayer that surrounds a phagosome, an intracellular vesicle formed during phagocytosis. It originates from the plasma membrane and is dynamically remodeled through fusion with endosomal and lysosomal membranes. It plays crucial roles in pathogen containment, signal transduction, acidification/degradation of cargo, and antigen presentation.
