The SNARE hypothesis proposes that membrane-bound vesicles containing target proteins are transported to their destination by recognizing and binding to specific SNARE receptors on the target membrane. The receptors on the vesicle membrane are called vesicle-SNAP receptors, and they are expected to eventually be identified as part of this process. Transport-SNAP receptors are not directly involved in the sorting process, but rather in the release of the vesicle once it reaches its destination. Clathrin-coated pits are involved in the process of receptor-mediated endocytosis, which is a separate process from the SNARE hypothesis. Phagocytosis involves the engulfment of larger particles by the cell, and is also unrelated to the SNARE hypothesis.
