General Information
Term endocytosis ID (Ontology) GO:0006897 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A vesicle-mediated transport process in which cells take up external materials or membrane constituents by the invagination of a part of the plasma membrane to form a new membrane-bounded vesicle.[ ISBN:0198506732 ISBN:0716731363 ]
Also Known As "endocytic import into cell" ; "vesicle endocytosis"
