Biology Wise: Molecular Mechanism of Receptor Mediated Endocytosis

Curated by ACT

Endocytosis enables cells to absorb extracellular nutrients that are needed for their survival. In receptor-mediated endocytosis, a protein receptor on the cell membrane binds to a nutrient molecule and facilitates its absorption through the cell membrane. The process is described and illustrated here.
