Clathrin is a protein that plays a key role in the process of endocytosis, where cells take in molecules by engulfing them in a vesicle formed by the cell membrane. It forms a lattice structure on the inner surface of the cell membrane to help shape and invaginate the membrane during vesicle formation. Clathrin-coated vesicles are involved in transporting molecules such as receptors and nutrients into the cell.

What uses a clathrin-coated vesicle?
Clathrin-coated vesicles are involved in the process of endocytosis, which allows cells to take up molecules and particles from the external environment. They are also important for transporting proteins and lipids between compartments within a cell, such as from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes.
What forms of vesicular transport processes are used by flu viruses diphtheria and cholera toxins to enter your cells?
Flu viruses enter cells through endocytosis, a process where the cell engulfs the virus in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. Diphtheria toxin enters cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a cell surface receptor and is internalized. Cholera toxin is taken up by clathrin-dependent endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a receptor on the cell surface and is internalized in clathrin-coated vesicles.
Why is endocytosis not possible in a plant cell?
What is endocytosis? It is the absorbing of outside materials into the cell by folding inward the cell membrane. Using that fact, endocytosis clearly can't occur in a plant cell because of the cell wall.
Does endocytosis require transport proteins?
Yes, endocytosis does require transport proteins to facilitate the process of bringing molecules into the cell. One important group of transport proteins involved in endocytosis are the clathrin-coated vesicle proteins, which help form the vesicles that transport molecules into the cell. These transport proteins play a crucial role in the formation and internalization of vesicles during endocytosis.
What uses clathrin-coated vesicle?
Molecules brought into a cell via receptor-mediated endocytosis are carried to their destination in the cell in clathrin coated vesicles.
What is calthrin?
Maybe you mean clathrin. Clathrin is one of main coating proteins that shapes the vesicle. They are formed in the golgi and rapidly disassembled and recycled in the cytosol.
What uses a clathrin-coated vesicle?
Clathrin-coated vesicles are involved in the process of endocytosis, which allows cells to take up molecules and particles from the external environment. They are also important for transporting proteins and lipids between compartments within a cell, such as from the trans-Golgi network to endosomes.
What is an adaptin?
An adaptin is any of a class of proteins which interact with membrane-bound receptors to assemble clathrin-coated vesicles.
Through what pathway in the cell membrane does the cholera toxin enter the cell?
CTX enters via Receptor mediated endocytosis (RME), also known as clathrin dependent endocytosis.
What forms of vesicular transport processes are used by flu viruses diphtheria and cholera toxins to enter your cells?
Flu viruses enter cells through endocytosis, a process where the cell engulfs the virus in a vesicle formed from the cell membrane. Diphtheria toxin enters cells through receptor-mediated endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a cell surface receptor and is internalized. Cholera toxin is taken up by clathrin-dependent endocytosis, where the toxin binds to a receptor on the cell surface and is internalized in clathrin-coated vesicles.
What does the golgi body have a major role in?
The modification of proteins and shipping said proteins to their destinations in and out of the cell. Vesicle manufacture for various reasons. Could go into this much deeper but I think you would not need information on clathrin proteins and vesicle formation.
Does endocytosis require protein?
no
Vesicles are formed by an action of the?
Vesicles are formed by the action of proteins called coat proteins (such as clathrin or COPII) that help shape the membrane into a vesicle. These coat proteins gather at a specific site on the membrane and facilitate the pinching off of the vesicle to transport molecules within the cell.
When a vesicle enters a cell by endocytosis how are the contents of that vescile released into cytoplasm?
Once a vesicle enters the cell through endocytosis, it fuses with a lysosome containing hydrolytic enzymes. The enzymes break down the membrane of the vesicle and its contents, releasing the molecules into the cytoplasm for further processing and utilization by the cell.
Why is endocytosis not possible in a plant cell?
What is endocytosis? It is the absorbing of outside materials into the cell by folding inward the cell membrane. Using that fact, endocytosis clearly can't occur in a plant cell because of the cell wall.
What are the types of endocytosis?
Endocytosis literally means "in - cell - process" (endo - cyt - osis). And that is just what it is: a process for taking materials into a cell by engulfing them.The cytoskeleton just below the cell membrane forms a part of the cell surface into a cup shape, and the bottom of the cup deepens while the lip of the cup closes all round, until a more or less spherical "bubble" of membrane, a vesicle or vacuole, is pinched off and moves deeper into the cytoplasm.There are two types of endocytosis:pinocytosis (derived from a Greek word for "drinking"), in which a relatively small drop of liquid is taken in by the cell;phagocytosis (from Greek for "eating"), in which something solid is included in the "mouthful".Pinocytosis happens in every cell, and goes on all the time. Receptor-mediated pinocytosis is a particularly efficient form of pinocytosis. A receptor on the surface of the cell binds to a molecule in the tissue fluid, and the complex of binding molecule (ligand) and receptor is ingested. For example, this is how human cells take in the element iron, which is present in the tissue fluid bound to a protein called transferrin.Vesicles formed in endocytosis are coated with the protein clathrin. For more details of the role and recruitment of clathrin see the links below. Phagocytosis includes the ingestion of bacteria by phagocytes, one type of human white blood cell involved in defense against organisms that cause disease. Once inside the phagocyte, the bacteria are destroyed.
