Descriptor English: Multivesicular Bodies
Descriptor Spanish: Cuerpos Multivesiculares
Descriptor cuerpos multivesiculares
Scope note: Endosomas que contienen vesículas intraluminales formadas por invaginación de la membrana del endosoma. Los cuerpos multivesiculares pueden fusionarse con otros orgánulos como los LISOSOMAS o volver a fusionarse con la MEMBRANA PLASMÁTICA, liberando su contenido mediante EXOCITOSIS. Las vesículas intraluminales de los cuerpos multivesiculares liberadas al medio extracelular se denominan EXOSOMAS.

Scope note: Endosomes containing intraluminal vesicles which are formed by the inward budding of the endosome membrane. Multivesicular bodies (MVBs) may fuse with other organelles such as LYSOSOMES or fuse back with the PLASMA MEMBRANE releasing their contents by EXOCYTOSIS. The MVB intraluminal vesicles released into the extracellular environment are known as EXOSOMES.
