Chapter 4, Problem 2CAL
Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Receptors present on cell membrane bind to specific molecules and form a cluster together, this cluster becomes coated with clathrin protein and pinch off into the cell as a clathrin-coated vesicle. This process is opted by the endothelium of blood vessels in the uptake of LDL (low-density lipoprotein).
