What is Receptor Mediated Endocytosis?

Receptor mediated endocytosis (RME) is a cellular process by which cells internalize molecules (such as proteins) by the inward budding of the plasma membrane. This process involves specific receptors on the cell surface that recognize and bind to particular ligands. RME is crucial for the uptake of vital nutrients, regulation of cell surface receptors, and entry of pathogens and toxins.
