Term Information

Accession: GO:0006911
Name: phagocytosis, engulfment
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: phagosome biosynthesis, phagosome formation
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The internalization of bacteria, immune complexes and other particulate matter or of an apoptotic cell by phagocytosis, including the membrane and cytoskeletal processes required, which involves one of three mechanisms: zippering of pseudopods around a target via repeated receptor-ligand interactions, sinking of the target directly into plasma membrane of the phagocytosing cell, or induced uptake via an enhanced membrane ruffling of the phagocytosing cell similar to macropinocytosis.
