===Vesicle coat and cargo molecules=== The vesicle "coat" is a collection of proteins that serve to shape the curvature of a donor membrane, forming the rounded vesicle shape. Coat proteins can also function to bind to various transmembrane receptor proteins, called cargo receptors. These receptors help select what material is endocytosed in [[receptor-mediated endocytosis]] or intracellular transport. There are three types of vesicle coats: [[clathrin]], [[COPI]] and [[COPII]]. The various types of coat proteins help with sorting of vesicles to their final destination. Clathrin coats are found on vesicles trafficking between the [[Golgi apparatus|Golgi]] and [[plasma membrane]], the Golgi and [[endosome]]s and the plasma membrane and endosomes. COPI coated vesicles are responsible for retrograde transport from the Golgi to the ER, while COPII coated vesicles are responsible for anterograde transport from the ER to the Golgi. The [[clathrin]] coat is thought to assemble in response to regulatory [[G protein]]. A protein coat assembles and disassembles due to an [[ADP ribosylation factor]] (ARF) protein.
