[GOC:dos, GOC:go_curators] EOG8F7R11 GO:0006909 3/229 phagocytosis biological_process "An endocytosis process that results in the engulfment of external particulate material by phagocytes. The particles are initially contained within phagocytic vacuoles (phagosomes), which then fuse with primary lysosomes to effect digestion of the particles."

It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins."

[GOC:curators, ISBN:0781735149] EOG8F7R11 GO:0046331 1/229 lateral inhibition biological_process "Signaling between cells of equivalent developmental potential that results in these cells adopting different developmental fates. An example is the suppression by cells with a particular fate of the adoption of the same fate by surrounding cells."

[ISBN:0198547684] EOG8F7R11 GO:0006898 1/229 receptor-mediated endocytosis biological_process "An endocytosis process in which cell surface receptors ensure specificity of transport. A specific receptor on the cell surface binds tightly to the extracellular macromolecule (the ligand) that it recognizes; the plasma-membrane region containing the receptor-ligand complex then undergoes endocytosis, forming a transport vesicle containing the receptor-ligand complex and excluding most other plasma-membrane proteins. Receptor-mediated endocytosis generally occurs via clathrin-coated pits and vesicles." [GOC:mah, ISBN:0716731363] EOG8F7R11 GO:0005044 1/229 scavenger receptor activity molecular_function "Combining with any modified low-density lipoprotein (LDL) or other polyanionic ligand and delivering the ligand into the cell via endocytosis. Ligands include acetylated and oxidized LDL, Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, apoptotic cells, beta-amyloid fibrils, and advanced glycation end products (AGEs)."
