klatrinipäällysteinen

klatrinipäällysteinen is a Finnish term that describes something coated or covered with clathrin. Clathrin is a protein that plays a crucial role in forming vesicles during endocytosis, a process by which cells absorb molecules from outside the cell. These clathrin-coated vesicles are important for various cellular functions, including nutrient uptake, receptor recycling, and synaptic vesicle trafficking. Therefore, when something is described as klatrinipäällysteinen, it implies it is associated with or involved in these clathrin-mediated cellular processes. This term might be encountered in biological research, particularly in studies focusing on cell biology, membrane trafficking, or molecular interactions within the cell. The presence of clathrin coating on a structure suggests a dynamic and regulated process of internalizing or transporting material within the cell.
