[Coated vesicles and their functional role in animal cells].

A review is made of the structural organization of coated vesicles, their contents, mode of formation and of destruction and intracellular routes in different cells of various species. Special attention is given to the participation of coated vesicles in the segregation and transferring of diverse substances in the cytoplasm, as well as to the final biological effects of these substances on cell metabolizm. The participation of coated vesicles in intracellular digestion, secretion and neurosecretion, in vitellogenesis and some other cellular function is considered in details.
