Receptor^–mediated endocytosis (RME) leads to the formation of ___________ coated pits.(a) clathrin(b) lipid(c) lysosome(d) mannoseThis question was addressed to me in semester exam.My enquiry is from Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems topic in chapter Cytoplasmic Membrane Systems of Cell Biology

Answer»

Right choice is (a) CLATHRIN

To EXPLAIN I would say: Substances bound to receptors enter a cell by receptor^–mediated endocytosis and collect in specialized domains of the plasma MEMBRANE called the ‘coated pits’. Clathrin is present on the electron^–dense coat of these pits.
