Term Name: clathrin coat disassembly
Synonyms: clathrin-coat disassembly, clathrin-coat uncoating, clathrin-coated vesicle uncoating
Definition: The disaggregation of a clathrin coat into its constituent components; results in stripping or removing the clathrin coat from clathrin-coated vesicles (CCV) before fusing with their targets. CVVs transport cargo from plasma membrane and trans-Golgi to the endosomal system.
