Sliding doors: clathrin-coated pits or caveolae?

Some cell-surface receptors activate downstream signal transduction pathways not only from the cell surface but also from endosomes, suggesting that signalling pathways can be regulated by compartmentalization. A further twist is that different internalization routes seem to predetermine whether transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) receptors will trigger a signalling response or be degraded.
