Document Summary

Autophagy - a process in which cells recycle their own organic material through the use of hydrolytic enzymes. Clathrin - a fibrous protein found on the intracellular side of the plasma membrane (also associated with the golgi complex) that helps invaginate the membrane. Typically cell surface receptors are associated with clathrin-coated pits at the plasma membrane binding of the ligand to the receptor trigger invagination (example: cholesterol uptake via lipoprotein endocytosis). Coated vesicles - vesicles that have a coat of proteins surrounding their membrane. Endocytosis - a process in which a cell engulfs extracellular material through an inward folding of its plasma membrane. Endomembrane system - a network of membranes inside and around a eukaryotic cell, related either through direct physical contact or by the transfer of membranous vesicles. Exocytosis - a process by which the contents of a cell vacuole are released to the exterior through fusion of the vacuole membrane with the cell membrane.
