Abstract

Adsorptive and receptor-mediated endocytosis via clathrin-coated vesicles provides the major and best characterised portal for uptake of multiple molecules and particles into cells. Via clathrin-dependent endocytosis, cells receive nutrients, regulate receptors and other plasma membrane constituents, take up antigens, and remove senescent, excess, and potentially harmful substances from the extracellular fluid.
