Figure 5. Overview of events that occur in the plasma membrane during endocytosis.

Figure 5

Proteins that mediate endocytosis are recruited to plasma membrane in a defined order. An early coat complex forms with cargo proteins clathrin and the AP2 complex to initiate the process. The subsequent intermediates form with the recruitment of the indicated proteins. The process culminates with the scission phase that releases an endocytic vesicle.
