CB 3 Flashcards
Endocytosis
5 pathways
- macropinocytosis
- clathrin mediated endocytosis
- non coated mediated endocytosis
- caveolae mediated endocytosis
- phagocytosis
macropinocytosis
occurs in thyroid cells as they take up thyroglobulin and dendritic cells
- actin based process
- nonspecific ingestion of fluids and solutes
- triggered by bacteria
clathrin mediated endocytosis
occurs at clathrin coated pits, dynamin is required to pinch of the vesicle, can be mediated by receptors or not
cholesterol
taken up by clathrin mediated endocytosis in the form of LDL
coated pits
clathrin mediated endocytosis
- cargo receptors located here
- adaptin associates
- coated vesicles form and become quickly uncoated after formation
atherosclerosis
occurs when there is a decrease or defect in the LDL receptor
(clathrin mediated endocytosis)
non coated mediated exocytosis
Shiga and Cholera toxins
phagocytosis
- cell eating, ingestion of large particles via receptors
- dependent on actin
- doesn’t need clathrin
- phagosomes
- fuse with lysosomes
Secretion
- exocytosis
- porocytosis
- exosomes
- exsosome like vesicles
exocytosis
bulk secretion
sectretion of cellular synthetic products like proteins, enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters
secretory vesicles
perform in exocytosis
formed by the golgi, fuse with plasma membrane
in charge of intracellular trafficking
2 pathways of exocytosis
constitutive
regulated
constitutive exocytosis
continous secretory processes, secretory product is not stored in secretory granules
regulative exocytosis
secretory product is stored in secretory vesicles until a signal causes the product to be secreted
porocytosis
involved with secretion
release of neurotransmitters
