Abstract
Cellular membranes contain thousands of different lipids. Of many of these lipids the function is still unknown. The objective of this thesis is to provide an explanation for the enormous diversity of lipids observed in membranes. This thesis presents a broad overview of different functions of membranes and lipids, the effect of membrane composition on these functions and how they are maintained. New lipid functions are still being discovered, indicating that the complexity of membranes and their composition reflects their many tasks in the cell. Lipid metabolism also plays a crucial role in tackling the global obesity epidemic.
