- They undergo rapid endocytosis at higher substrate concentration.
Derivativesendocytotic /ˌɛndəʊsʌɪˈtɒtɪk/ adjective ...- Also, formation of endocytotic vesicles at the plasma membrane involves proteins that can severely bend membranes.
- In many cells, endocytotic membrane retrieval is accelerated by this chemical.
- Here we summarize what is known of endocytotic cycling in animals and compare those mechanisms with what is known in plants.
