GO term: endocytosis Help


Ontology: Biological Process (GO:0006897)

Definition: A type of vesicle-mediated transport in which cells take up external materials or membrane constituents by the invagination of small region of the plasma membrane to form a new membrane-bounded vesicle.

Synonyms: nonselective vesicle endocytosis; plasma membrane invagination; vesicle endocytosis
