36
Clathrin-mediated
- Dynamin required (GTPase) - Can be receptor mediated - Adaptin on intracellular portion of receptor - Come uncoated quickly after uptake
37
Phagocytosis

58
4 fates of endocytosis
- Receptor recycled and ligand degraded (LDLR) - Receptor and ligand recycled (Fe and its receptor) - Receptor and ligand degraded (FGFR3, not degraded hence overactive) - Receptor and ligand transported to other side of cell and secreted (transcytosis)
59
