2. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

   Intracellular transport is more specialized than diffusion; it is a multifaceted process which utilizes transport vesicles. Transport vesicles are small structures within the cell consisting of a fluid enclosed by a lipid bilayer that hold cargo. These vesicles will typically execute cargo loading and vesicle budding, vesicle transport, the ...

3. Vesicular transport adaptor protein - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicular_transport...

   Vesicular transport adaptor proteins are proteins involved in forming complexes that function in the trafficking of molecules from one subcellular location to another. [2] [3] [4] These complexes concentrate the correct cargo molecules in vesicles that bud or extrude off of one organelle and travel to another location, where the cargo is ...

4. Vesicle (biology and chemistry) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle_(biology_and...

   Vesicles can also fuse with other organelles within the cell. A vesicle released from the cell is known as an extracellular vesicle. Vesicles perform a variety of functions. Because it is separated from the cytosol, the inside of the vesicle can be made to be different from the cytosolic environment. For this reason, vesicles are a basic tool ...

5. Golgi apparatus - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_apparatus

   The Golgi apparatus (/ ˈ ɡ ɒ l dʒ i /), also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. [1] Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.

6. Membrane vesicle trafficking - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_vesicle_trafficking

   For movement between different compartments within the cell, vesicles rely on the motor proteins myosin, kinesin (primarily anterograde transport) and dynein (primarily retrograde transport). One end of the motor proteins attaches to the vesicle while the other end attaches to either microtubulees or microfilaments. The motor proteins then move ...

7. Exosome (vesicle) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exosome_(vesicle)

   Exosomes are extracellular vesicles having a unique biogenesis pathway via multivesicular bodies. Exosome formation starts with the invagination of the multi-vesicular bodies (MVBs) or late endosomes to generate intraluminal vesicles (ILVs). [58] There are various proposed mechanisms for formation of MVBs, vesicle budding, and sorting.

8. Pinocytosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pinocytosis

   Pinocytosis. In cellular biology, pinocytosis, otherwise known as fluid endocytosis and bulk-phase pinocytosis, is a mode of endocytosis in which small molecules dissolved in extracellular fluid are brought into the cell through an invagination of the cell membrane, resulting in their containment within a small vesicle inside the cell.

9. Microvesicle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microvesicle

   Exosomes are formed by invagination within a cell to create an intracellular vesicle called an endosome, or an endocytic vesicle. In general, exosomes are formed by segregating the cargo (e.g., lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids) within the endosome. Once formed, the endosome combines with a structure known as a multivesicular body (MVB). The ...
