Functional characterization of the machinery for clathrin-mediated endocytosis
FY 2008-09
Summary
The information encoded in the human genome is translated into proteins, which are the building blocks for cells and carry out all cellular activities. Once the proteins are made, they need to be transported to the appropriate cellular location. We study the mechanisms by which cells transport proteins. Remarkably, as genetic studies reveal the genes that are altered in human diseases, many of the gene products are found to function in protein transport within cells.
