Proteins involved in endocytic transit (Coronin pg.1)

Top: Coronin (red dots) in particle uptake, degradation, and exocytosis phases.

Right: Coronin-GFP (green) accumulates at the site of phagocytic uptake (red particle). (A click on the frame will start the movie).

Function: A mutant lacking coronin has a reduced efficiency of phagocytosis.
