Mammalian endocytic mechanisms are described by focusing the cellular proteins that control the endocytic mechanisms, which control the lipid and protein composition of the plasma membrane. The roles of lipids, membrane curvature-modulating proteins, small G proteins, actin and dynamin in endocytic pathways are analyzed.
