Term Information

Accession: GO:0048549
Name: positive regulation of pinocytosis
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: up regulation of pinocytosis, up-regulation of pinocytosis, upregulation of pinocytosis, activation of pinocytosis, stimulation of pinocytosis
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: Any process that activates, maintains or increases the rate of pinocytosis. Pinocytosis is the process in which cells take in liquid material from their external environment; literally 'cell drinking'. Liquid is enclosed in vesicles, formed by invagination of the plasma membrane. These vesicles then move into the cell and pass their contents to endosomes. Source: GOC:go_curators
