Coatomer

The coatomer is a protein complex that coats membrane-bound transport vesicles. Two types of coatomers are known: The coatomer is a protein complex that coats membrane-bound transport vesicles. Two types of coatomers are known: Coatomers are functionally analogous and evolutionarily homologous to clathrin adaptor proteins, also known as adaptins, which regulate endocytosis from the plasma membrane and transport from the trans-Golgi network to lysosomes.
