Mesh term Clathrin-Coated Vesicles
Browse to parent terms:Coated Vesicles
Description
Vesicles formed when cell-membrane coated pits (COATED PITS, CELL-MEMBRANE) invaginate and pinch off. The outer surface of these vesicles is covered with a lattice-like network of the protein CLATHRIN. Shortly after formation, however, the clathrin coat is removed and the vesicles are referred to as ENDOSOMES.Search for this term in our Faculty Database
