What is receptor mediated endocytosis? Explain how it occurs. Receptor meditated endocytosis is a way the cell uses endocytosis by absorbing coated vesicles by the means of clathrin and breaking down the absorbed materials so the cell can use it. Receptor mediated endocytosis begins by the binding of a protein to a receptor that is located on the plasma membrane. Next the receptors collect and cluster in coated pits‚ and then forms a vesicle.(pg. 343) Then adaptin binds to the receptor and clathrin
