D)clathrin
E)COPI

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The adaptors that participate in the formation of coated pits and coated vesicles of clathrin-mediated endocytosis are the AP2 adaptors. They are responsible for selecting and binding to cargo molecules, as well as to clathrin molecules, to initiate the formation of the coated pit. The other options, COPII, GGA, clathrin, and COPI, are involved in other types of vesicle formation and trafficking pathways.
