Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Clathrin vesicles are involved in transporting transmembrane proteins and GPI-linked proteins from the Golgi to the plasma membrane. They are not involved in transporting proteins between successive components of the Golgi compartments or from the ER to the Golgi. Clathrin forms a lattice-like structure, which helps in the formation of coated vesicles that protect protein structure and orientation during the transport from hydrophobic to hydrophilic environments.
