Clathrin is a protein that plays a role in the formation of coated vesicles. Clathrin was first isolated by Barbara Pearse in 1976. It forms a triskelion shape composed of three clathrin heavy chains and three light chains. When the triskelia interact they form a polyhedral lattice that surrounds the vesicle. The protein's name refers to this lattice structure, deriving from Latin clathri, meaning lattice. Barbara Pearse named the protein clathrin at the suggestion of Graeme Mitchison, selecting it from three possible options. Coat-proteins, like clathrin, are used to build small vesicles in o

La clatrina è una molecola costituita da tre catene polipeptidiche pesanti e da tre leggere unite insieme a formare una struttura a tre raggi chiamata triscele. Le trisceli unite formano pentagoni o esagoni che nel complesso costituiscono una struttura a icosaedro.Tutto ciò costituisce un elemento di rivestimento di vescicole nel processo di endocitosi mediata da recettore (detta anche endocitosi clatrina dipendente) e vescicole che originano dall'apparato di Golgi. Le dimensioni delle vescicole rivestite da clatrina sono intorno ai 50-100 nm. Le clatrine sono state isolate per la prima volta da Barbara Pearse nel 1975.
