The Structure of Coated Vesicles

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Receptors and Recognition ((SERB,volume 15))

Abstract

In the almost 20 years since Roth and Porter (1964) proposed that coated vesicles mediate the specific transport of proteins, researchers from various fields have joined in investigating both the structure and function of these organelles. Interest in the function of coated vesicles has intensified since it became apparent that coated pits and coated vesicles are the organelles responsible for the initial steps in the receptor-mediated endocytosis of a host of polypeptides, hormones, growth factors and viruses. There is ample evidence also that they function in other intracellular pathways, including transport of proteins from one cell surface to another, from the endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi and from the Golgi to the cell surface.

The views of this author do not purport to reflect the positions of the Department of the Army or Department of Defense.
