Coatomer
Appearance
The coatomer is a protein complex[1] that coats membrane-bound transport vesicles. Three types of coatomers are known:[2]
- COPI (retrograde transport from trans-Golgi apparatus to cis-Golgi and endoplasmic reticulum)
- COPII (anterograde transport from ER to the cis-Golgi)
- clathrin and its associated adaptins (endocytosis from the plasma membrane, and trans-Golgi to lysosomes)
