What are the Key Proteins Involved in Lipid Raft Mediated Endocytosis?
Key proteins involved in lipid raft mediated endocytosis include caveolins and flotillins. Caveolins are structural proteins that form flask-shaped invaginations known as caveolae. They are essential for the internalization of specific lipid raft domains. Flotillins, another family of proteins, are also associated with lipid rafts and play a role in the formation and stabilization of these microdomains.
