  2. Cytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosis

    Mechanism of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Clathrin-coated pits in endocytosis: The membrane of the cell invaginates using the protein clathrin. The clathrin uses actin to pull together the sides of the plasma membrane and form a vesicle inside the cellular cytosol. Receptor-mediated endocytosis Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a mode of ...

  3. Endocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endocytosis

    Endocytosis is a cellular process in which substances are brought into the cell. The material to be internalized is surrounded by an area of cell membrane , which then buds off inside the cell to form a vesicle containing the ingested materials.

  4. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

    One very well understood form of intracellular transport is known as endocytosis. Endocytosis is defined as the uptake of material by the invagination of the plasma membrane. [ 4 ] More specifically, eukaryotic cells use endocytosis of the uptake of nutrients, down regulation of growth factor receptors’ and as a mass regulator of the ...

  5. Receptor-mediated endocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Receptor-mediated_endocytosis

    Receptor-mediated endocytosis (RME), also called clathrin-mediated endocytosis, is a process by which cells absorb metabolites, hormones, proteins – and in some cases viruses – by the inward budding of the plasma membrane (invagination).

  6. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    The pH of vacuoles enables them to perform homeostatic procedures in the cell. For example, when the pH in the cells environment drops, the H + ions surging into the cytosol can be transferred to a vacuole in order to keep the cytosol's pH constant. [33] In animals, vacuoles serve in exocytosis and endocytosis processes. Endocytosis refers to ...

  7. ESCRT - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ESCRT

    The release of viral particles, also known as viral budding, is a process by which free virions are released from within cells via the hijacking of host cell ESCRT machinery. [ 1 ] [ 14 ] Retroviruses , such as HIV-1 and human T-lymphotropic virus , as well as a number of enveloped viruses , including the Ebola virus , require ESCRT machinery ...

  8. Potocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potocytosis

    The molecules are transported by caveolae (rather than clathrin-coated vesicles) and are deposited directly into the cytosol. [1] Like other types of receptor-mediated endocytosis, potocytosis typically begins when an extracellular ligand binds to a receptor protein on the surface of a cell, thus beginning the formation of an endocytotic vesicle.

  9. RAB7A - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAB7A

    Ras-related protein Rab-7a is involved in endocytosis, which is a process that brings substances into a cell. The process of endocytosis works by folding the cell membrane around a substance outside of the cell (for example a protein) and then forms a vesicle. The vesicle is then brought into the cell and cleaved from the cell membrane.
