Preferred Label : adaptor proteins, vesicular transport;
MeSH definition : A class of proteins involved in the transport of molecules via TRANSPORT VESICLES.
They perform functions such as binding to the cell membrane, capturing cargo molecules
and promoting the assembly of CLATHRIN. The majority of adaptor proteins exist as
multi-subunit complexes, however monomeric varieties have also been found.;
