clatrinadependientes
Clatrinadependientes, also known as clathrin-dependent pathways or clathrin-mediated endocytosis, are a major cellular process responsible for the internalization of molecules, nutrients, and receptors from the cell surface. This pathway relies on the formation of a specialized protein coat made of clathrin, a triskelion-shaped protein that assembles into a polyhedral lattice around budding vesicles.
The process begins when cargo molecules bind to specific receptors on the plasma membrane. Adapter proteins,
After internalization, the clathrin coat is disassembled, allowing the vesicle to fuse with early endosomes for
This pathway is highly conserved across eukaryotic organisms, reflecting its fundamental role in cellular function. Disruptions
