Alternative definition : KEGG: Endocytosis is a mechanism for cells to remove ligands, nutrients, plasma membrane
(PM) proteins, and lipids from the cell surface, bringing them into the cell interior.
Transmembrane proteins entering through clathrin-dependent endocytosis (CDE) have
sequences in their cytoplasmic domains that bind to the APs (adaptor-related protein
complexes) and enable their rapid removal from the PM. In addition to APs and clathrin,
there are numerous accessory proteins including dynamin. Depending on the various
proteins that enter the endosome membrane, these cargoes are sorted to distinct destinations.
Some cargoes, such as nutrient receptors, are recycled back to the PM. Ubiquitylated
membrane proteins, such as activated growth-factor receptors, are sorted into intraluminal
vesicles and eventually end up in the lysosome lumen via multivesicular endosomes
(MVEs). There are distinct mechanisms of clathrin-independent endocytosis (CIE) depending
upon the cargo and the cell type.;
