Myelin is the correct answer
Myelin sheath of nerve fibers (a highly modified plasma membrane) is about 80% lipid and 20% protein. The high lipid content of myelin relates to its insulation function in nerve conduction. In contrast, the inner mitochondrial memb is about 80% protein and 20% lipid. Most other plasma membranes are just under 50% lipid and just over 50% protein.
