• clathrin is the major protein of the polyhedral coat of coated pits & vesicles
• clathrin coats are formed from molecules containing 3 heavy chains & 3 light chains
• interacts (via N-terminus) with HIP1
• interacts with HIP1R

Compartment

• cytoplasmic vesicle membrane
• peripheral membrane protein; cytoplasmic side
• coated pit
• cytoplasmic face of coated pits & vesicles

Alternative splicing

named isoforms=2
