Receptor-mediated endocytosis of a drug conjugated to folate. (1) The drug–folate conjugate binds to folate receptors in caveolae. (2) Membrane invagination occurs and the drug–folate conjugate is engulfed by the cell and internalized by the endocytotic pathway. (3) Drug release is initiated by the low pH environment of the endosome. (4) Drug and imaging agents are released into the cell. (5) The folate receptor can be recycled and returned to the cell membrane. (Illustrated by Samantha L. Lindberg).
