Endocytosis is a cellular process that involves the internalization of molecules from the external environment into the cell. There are different types of endocytosis, each with its own specific mechanism for uptake and internalization of molecules. Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a specialized form of endocytosis that is characterized by the selective uptake of specific molecules by the cell, mediated by transmembrane receptors. This process is highly regulated and plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including the regulation of cell signaling, nutrient uptake, and the removal of waste materials.
