Membrane receptors involved in endocytosis in rat renal proximal tubule

Abstract

In conclusion the present study has demonstrated the localization of 3 receptors for endocytosis in rat renal proximal tubule cells. The three receptors are located in the membranes of the vacuolar compartment involved in endocytosis in these cells and in addition in dense apical tubules responsible for membrane recycling in the proximal tubule.
