Uptake of extracellular molecules is also believed to be specifically mediated via receptors in caveolae. From left to right: Phagocytosis, Pinocytosis, Receptor-mediated endocytosis. Potocytosis is a form of receptor-mediated endocytosis that uses caveolae vesicles to bring molecules of various sizes into the cell. Unlike most endocytosis that ...
The uptake test involves administering a dose of radioactive iodine (radioiodine), traditionally iodine-131 (131 I), and more recently iodine-123 (123 I).
