Clathrin lattice, molecular model C015 / 6790
Molecular model of a complete clathrin lattice. The polyhedral protein lattice coats eukaryotic cell membranes (vesicles) and coated pits and appears to be involved in protein secretion and membrane trafficking. This protein also occurs in synaptic vesicles. The fibrous protein forms a characteristic polyhedral coat on the surface of coated pits and coated vesicles. Clathrin-coated vesicles are important vehicles of membrane traffic in cells

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a molecular model of a complete clathrin lattice, known as Clathrin lattice, molecular model C015 / 6790. The intricate polyhedral protein lattice is responsible for coating eukaryotic cell membranes and coated pits, playing a crucial role in protein secretion and membrane trafficking within cells. The fibrous nature of this remarkable protein forms a characteristic polyhedral coat on the surface of coated pits and vesicles. These clathrin-coated vesicles serve as essential vehicles for membrane traffic within cells, facilitating the transportation of vital molecules to their designated locations. Beyond its fundamental function in cellular transport, this versatile protein also occurs in synaptic vesicles found at synapses—the junctions between nerve cells—highlighting its significance in neuronal communication. In this visually stunning image, the cutout representation of the clathrin lattice allows us to marvel at its complex structure. Each polyhedron represents an individual unit that contributes to the overall lattice formation. Photographed by PASIEKA/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print not only captures the beauty of science but also serves as a reminder of how intricately designed our cellular machinery truly is. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world where proteins like clathrin orchestrate critical processes necessary for life's functioning.
