Preferred Label : cop-coated vesicles;
MeSH definition : TRANSPORT VESICLES formed when cell-membrane coated pits (COATED PITS, CELL-MEMBRANE)
invaginate and pinch off. The outer surface of these vesicles is covered with a lattice-like
network of COP (coat protein complex) proteins, either COPI or COPII. COPI coated
vesicles transport backwards from the cisternae of the GOLGI APPARATUS to the rough
endoplasmic reticulum (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH), while COPII coated vesicles
transport forward from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus.;
MeSH synonym : coat protein complex coated vesicles; vesicle, cop-coated; cop-coated vesicle; vesicles, cop-coated; coat protein complex-coated vesicles; COP coated vesicles;
