Feb 7, 2018 · Clathrin-mediated endocytosis is the main mechanism for internalization of cell-surface molecules and surface-bound cargoes.

Introduction Clathrin is an intracellular protein present in the cytosol of eukaryotic cells. When recruited to the cytosolic surface of the plasma and intracellular membranes, clathrin can self …

Jul 25, 2025 · The clathrin protein is a fundamental component found within the cells of all eukaryotes, which include animals, plants, and fungi. It serves as a specialized protein …

Like many proteins, clathrin represents a perfect case of form following function; it performs critical roles in shaping rounded vesicles for intracellular trafficking.

Aug 22, 2025 · Clathrin is a fundamental protein found within cells, playing a significant role in various cellular processes. It acts as a scaffold, helping to shape and stabilize structures …

Jul 21, 2025 · Within the bustling environment of our body’s cells, a protein named clathrin works tirelessly. Present in organisms from yeast to complex animals and plants, clathrin acts as a …

Clathrin was discovered nearly 25 years ago. Since then, a large number of other proteins that participate in the process by which clathrin-coated vesicles retrieve synaptic membranes or …

In endocytosis, the clathrin coat is assembled on the cytoplasmic face of the plasma membrane, forming pits that invaginate to pinch off (scission) and become free CCVs.
