Endocytosis: Relation to Capping and Cell Locomotion
Abstract
Most mammalian cells, such as fibroblasts, continuously internalize part of their surface membrane by endocytosis, and then later return it to the cell surface. This cyclical process is initiated by coated pits in the plasma membrane. These pits collect specific receptors plus lipid for internalization, but exclude other proteins. On a motile cell, the sites of endocytosis (randomly located on the cell) and those of membrane return (located at the front of the cell) are not coincident. This causes a bulk flow of lipid plus receptors in the plasma membrane, away from the front of the cell. Large objects on the cell surface are swept to the rear of the cell by this flow, a process called capping. Cells may use this polarized endocytic cycle to move.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
