MeSH definition : 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 the protein CLATHRIN. Shortly after formation, however, the clathrin coat
is removed and the vesicles are referred to as ENDOSOMES.;
