MeSH definition : Specialized regions of the cell membrane composed of pits coated with a bristle covering
made of the protein CLATHRIN. These pits are the entry route for macromolecules bound
by cell surface receptors. The pits are then internalized into the cytoplasm to form
the COATED VESICLES.;
