The cellular process of clathrin and caveolin mediated endocytosis are energy dependent and therefore only occur at 37°C and are inhibited at 4°C. Compared to mhCD, chlorpomazine was more efficient in blocking endocytosis of liposomes, which indicates a predominance of clathrin mediated endocytosis as a mechanism of endocytosis.
