What is another word for receptor-mediated endocytosis?
Pronunciation: [ɹɪsˈɛptəmˈiːdɪˌe͡ɪtɪd ˌɛndə͡ʊsɪtˈə͡ʊsɪs] (IPA) 
Receptor-mediated endocytosis is a complex biological process where a cell engulfs substances outside of the cell and transports them through the cell membrane into the interior of the cell. This essential process relies on receptor proteins, which bind to molecules and facilitate the uptake of nutrients and other molecules the cell needs to survive. Other terms that can be used to describe receptor-mediated endocytosis include clathrin-mediated endocytosis, ligand internalization, and receptor-mediated uptake. Regardless of the terminology used, the process is crucial for the proper functioning of many cells and critical to maintaining overall body homeostasis.
