Abstract
This chapter is concerned with membrane transport and its genetic control in man. A discussion in this context would be unmanageable if one were to consider all the known physical and chemical aspects of cell membranes, their relevant functions, and the inherited disorders thereof. On the other hand, since no one can yet define what the critical physical and chemical features of biological membranes are, nor define precisely how the process of membrane transport is accomplished,163 it is still necessary to consider transport as a rather black-box phenomenon. We do know of several rare inherited disorders of membrane transport in man and in other species which are viewed with great interest because of the insight they bring concerning the organization and function of membrane transport processes.
