Late endosomes are normally a round or oval shape and the compartments are derived from the vacuolar domains of early endosomes. Due to the multi vesicular appearance late endosomes can also be referred as multi-vesicular bodies. In terms of their function, late endosomes are responsible for managing receptors that are not suitable for recycling, sorting them for lysosomal degradation.
Ultimately they fuse with the lysosome resulting in the degradation of the exosomal content. All endosomes go through a maturation process, which causes a hybrid of endosomal compartments accumulating in vesicles. The formation of these vesicles is vital in the development of late endosomes.

Endosome is the membrane-bound vesicle that forms as a result of endocytosis. Here, endocytosis is the process that takes materials into the cell by invagination of the plasma membrane, and thus, forming a vesicle. Therefore, the main function of an endosome is to serve as a temporary vesicle for transportation. Pinocytosis, phagocytosis, and receptor-mediated endocytosis are the three mechanisms of endocytosis. Pinocytosis forms a type of endosomes called pinosomes, which contain liquids with suspended substances.
On the other hand, phagocytosis forms another type of endosomes called phagosomes, which contain pathogens like bacteria and virus. However, receptor-mediated endocytosis forms clathrin-coated endosomes. Proteins and lipids enter the cell through this method.
The three main types of endosomes are early endosomes, recycling endosomes, and late endosomes. Early endosomes can be either narrow tubular columns or large vesicles with membrane invaginations. Three primary mechanisms of endocytosis that are exhibited by a typical cell are illustrated in Figure 1. On the far left of the figure, receptor mediated endocytosis , which is the most specifically-targeted form of the endocytic process, is presented.
Through receptor mediated endocytosis, active cells are able to take in significant amounts of particular molecules ligands that bind to receptor sites extending from the cytoplasmic membrane into the extracellular fluid surrounding the cell.
These receptor sites are commonly grouped together along coated pits in the membrane, which are lined on their cytoplasmic surface with a bristle-like collection of coat proteins. The coat proteins are thought to play a role in enlarging the pit and forming a vesicle. Note, as shown in Figure 1, vesicles produced via receptor mediated endocytosis may internalize other molecules in addition to ligands, though the ligands are usually brought into the cell in higher concentration.
A less specific mechanism of endocytosis is pinocytosis , which is illustrated in the central section of Figure 1. By means of pinocytosis, a cell is able to ingest droplets of liquid from the extracellular fluid. All solutes found in the droplets outside of the cell may become encased in the vesicles formed via this process, with those present in the greatest concentration in the extracellular fluid also becoming the most concentrated in the membranous sacs.
Pinocytic vesicles tend to be smaller than vesicles produced by other endocytic processes. The final type of endocytosis, termed phagocytosis see Figure 1 , is probably the most well-known manner in which a cell may import outside materials. In many school science labs, children observe amoebas under the microscope and watch the single-celled organisms eat by stretching out pseudopodia and encircling any food particles they find in their paths. This engulfment and subsequent packaging of the particles into vesicles, which are usually large enough to be correctly referred to as vacuoles, is phagocytosis.
Though commonly associated with amoebas, phagocytosis is practiced by many organisms.
