The vesicles formed during absorptive pinocytosis are derived from invaginations (pits) that are coated on the cytoplasmic site with a filamentous material known as clathrin.> Pepsin: Is a proteolytic enzyme secreted by chief cells of stomach It is used for digestion> Laminin: Is found in extracellular matrix It is the most abundant glycoprotein present in basement membrane
