When Does Receptor Mediated Endocytosis Occur?
10.2. Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis Occurs with the Binding of Ligands to the Specific Receptors Located in the Luminal Membrane of the Bbb. What Is...
What is receptor-mediated endocytosis used for?
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a form of endocytosis in which receptor proteins on the cell surface are used to capture a specific target molecule. The receptors, which are transmembrane proteins, cluster in regions of the plasma membrane known as coated pits.
What is required for receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Our biochemical and morphological data suggested that, although ATP is required for receptor-mediated endocytosis, in ATP-depleted cells ligands can become efficiently sequestered into deeply invaginated pits that are inaccessible to large probes such as antibodies, but remain accessible to small molecules such as GSH.
