clathrin — The principal constituent of a polyhedral protein lattice that coats eukaryotic cell membranes (vesicles) and coated pits and appears to be involved in protein secretion. This protein also occurs in synaptic vesicles. [L. clathri, lattice] * * * … Medical dictionary
Clathrin-independent carrier — Clathrin independent carriers (CLICs) are prevalent tubulovesicular membranes responsible for non clathrin mediated endocytic events. They appear to endocytose material into GEECs. Collectively, CLICs and GEECs comprise the CLIC/GEEC endocytic… … Wikipedia
