A role for myocilin in receptor-mediated endocytosis. [PDF]
Myocilin is a broadly expressed protein that when mutated uniquely causes glaucoma. While no function has been ascribed to explain focal disease, some properties of myocilin are known. Myocilin is a cytoplasmic protein that also localizes to vesicles specifically as part of a large membrane-associated complex with properties similar to the SNARE ...

Gene transfer into hepatocytes using asialoglycoprotein receptor mediated endocytosis of DNA complexed with an artificial tetra-antennary galactose ligand [PDF]
We have constructed an artificial ligand for the hepatocyte-specific asialoglycoprotein receptor for the purpose of generating a synthetic delivery system for DNA.

Target shape dependence in a simple model of receptor-mediated endocytosis and phagocytosis. [PDF]
Phagocytosis and receptor-mediated endocytosis are vitally important particle uptake mechanisms in many cell types, ranging from single-cell organisms to immune cells.

Receptor-Mediated Endocytosis in the Proximal Tubule. [PDF]
Cells lining the proximal tubule (PT) of the kidney are highly specialized for apical endocytosis of filtered proteins and small bioactive molecules from the glomerular ultrafiltrate to maintain essentially protein-free urine. Compromise of this pathway results in low molecular weight (LMW) proteinuria that can progress to end-stage kidney disease ...

ORAI channels are critical for receptor-mediated endocytosis of albumin. [PDF]
AbstractImpaired albumin reabsorption by proximal tubular epithelial cells (PTECs) has been highlighted in diabetic nephropathy (DN), but little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms. Here we find that ORAI1-3, are preferentially expressed in PTECs and downregulated in patients with DN.

Glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored receptor-mediated bacterial endocytosis [PDF]
An increasing number of pathogens or their toxins appear to utilize glycosylphosphatidylinositol(GPI)-anchored receptors to trigger entry into immune and other host cells. Since these receptors have no transmembrane and intracellular moieties, how endocytosis is initiated is unclear.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate modulates antigen capture by murine langerhans cells via the S1P2 receptor subtype [PDF]
Dendritic cells (DCs) play a pivotal role in the development of cutaneous contact hypersensitivity (CHS) and atopic dermatitis as they capture and process antigen and present it to T lymphocytes in the lymphoid organs.

The mechanism of receptor‐mediated endocytosis [PDF]
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a mechanism used by cells for the uptake of macromolecules from the extracellular fluid. It is a process found in all eukaryotic organisms in the plant and animal kingdoms. The early work of Roth and Porter (1964), which showed the uptake of yolk proteins into mosquito oocytes, first indicated that cells are capable of ...

Mechanics of receptor-mediated endocytosis [PDF]
Most viruses and bioparticles endocytosed by cells have characteristic sizes in the range of tens to hundreds of nanometers. The process of viruses entering and leaving animal cells is mediated by the binding interaction between ligand molecules on the viral capid and their receptor molecules on the cell membrane.
