Specialiserade områden på cellmembranet, bestående av gropar täckta med ett borstigt skikt av proteinet klatrin. Dessa gropar tjänar som ingångar för makromolekyler som bundits av cellytereceptorer. G roparna knoppas sedan av inåt i cytoplasman och bildar täckta vesiklar (blåsor).
Specialized regions of the cell membrane composed of pits coated with a bristle covering made of the protein CLATHRIN. These pits are the entry route for macromolecules bound by cell surface receptors. The pits are then internalized into the cytoplasm to form the COATED VESICLES.
