Schematic of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. The process is initiated by ligand recognition and then the formation of clathrin-coated pits. With the aid of clathrin triskelions, a hexagonal lattice is formed, inducing the invagination of the plasma membrane. Afterwards, dynamin (a scission protein) releases the vesicle into the cytoplasm, where decoating takes place.
