Term ID
GO:0075513
Synonyms
  • viral entry into host cell via caveolae-mediated endocytosis
  • viral entry into host cell via caveolin-mediated endocytosis
  • viral penetration via caveolae-mediated endocytosis followed by endosome disruption
Definition
Any caveolin-mediated endocytosis that is involved in the uptake of a virus into a host cell. Begins when material is taken up into plasma membrane caveolae - specialized lipid rafts that form 50-70 nm flask-shaped invaginations of the plasma membrane - which then pinch off to form endocytic caveolar carriers containing the virus.
