Document Summary

Calls can make internalize extracellular materials by phagocytosis, pinocytosis, or receptor-mediated endocytosis. Purpose of this is to get certain proteins/ materials inside the cell. Also to recycle membranes lost during exocytosis. Phagocytosis is engul ng a very large particle/ organism. Pinocytosis is to bring small vesicles that contains liquid into the cell. Receptor mediated endocytosis is a more selective way of internalizing speci c molecules . Uses receptors to bind something from outside (ligands) before engul ng. *recall: ligands are molecules that bind proteins; receptors are proteins. Almost all cells can undergo this (phago/pinocytosis is only by some cells) Ex: ldl (cholesterol), transferrin (iron binding plasma), hormones (ex. insulin), certain glycoproteins etc. Receptor binds to ligand, forms a vesicle, and brings ligand into cell. Commonly forms an endocytic vesicle (early endosome) > fuses with other endocytic vesicles > late endosome > lysosome. A retrograde pathway bring things from membrane, and they will need to be facilitated before brought in.
