Receptor-mediated endocytosis imports specific molecules after they bind to cell surface receptors.
Receptor-mediated endocytosis targets specific molecules that bind to membrane receptors, which then draw the molecule inside to form a vacuole.
| Front | Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis |
|---|---|
| Back | - for large amounts of a specific molecule - molecules bind to specific receptors on outside of membrane - receptors draw inside the cell, forming a vacuole ex) cholesterol from blood |
