COP-Coated Vesicles

More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: TRANSPORT VESICLES formed when cell-membrane coated pits (COATED PITS, CELL-MEMBRANE) invaginate and pinch off. The outer surface of these vesicles is covered with a lattice-like network of COP (coat protein complex) proteins, either COPI or COPII. COPI coated vesicles transport backwards from the cisternae of the GOLGI APPARATUS to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM, ROUGH), while COPII coated vesicles transport forward from the rough endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus.      Other names Vesicles, Coatomer-Coated; Vesicles, COPII-Coated; Vesicles, COPI-Coated; Vesicles, COP-Coated; Vesicle, Coatomer-Coated; Vesicle, COPII-Coated; Vesicle, COPI-Coated; Vesicle, COP-Coated; Coatomer-Coated Vesicle; Coatomer Coated Vesicles; Coat Protein Complex Coated Vesicles; COPII-Coated Vesicle; COPII Coated Vesicles; COPI-Coated Vesicle; COPI Coated Vesicles; COP-Coated Vesicle; COP Coated Vesicles; Coat Protein Complex-Coated Vesicles; Coatomer-Coated Vesicles; COPII-Coated Vesicles
