Membranome is the set of biological membranes existing in a specific organism. The term was proposed by British biologist Thomas Cavalier-Smith [1] to discuss epigenetics of biological membranes. The term was also used to define the entire set of membrane proteins in an organism[2][3] or a combination of membrane proteome and lipidome.
