GO term:cellular membrane organization
Synonym: cellular membrane organisation
Synonym: membrane organization and biogenesis
GO id:GO:0016044
Definition:A process that is carried out at the cellular level which results in the assembly, arrangement of constituent parts, or disassembly of a membrane. A membrane is a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins.
Number of paths to term: 3
