Abstract Eukaryotic cell membranes contain microdomains called lipid rafts, which are cholesterol-rich domains in which lipid acyl chains are tightly packed and highly extended. A variety of proteins associate preferentially with rafts, and this raft association is important in a wide range of functions. A powerful and widely used method for studying lipid rafts takes advantage of their insolubility in non-ionic detergents. Here we describe the basis of detergent insolubility, and review strengths, limitations, and unresolved puzzles regarding this method.
