The internalization of bacteria, immune complexes and other particulate matter or of an apoptotic cell by phagocytosis, including the membrane and cytoskeletal processes required, which involves one of three mechanisms: zippering of pseudopods around a target via repeated receptor-ligand interactions, sinking of the target directly into plasma membrane of the phagocytosing cell, or induced uptake via an enhanced membrane ruffling of the phagocytosing cell similar to macropinocytosis.

Co-occurrence statistics
This display shows those GO terms which have been annotated to the same proteins as this term.
Terms may have been co-annotated either by electronic (IEA) or manual annotation methods.
Users can decide which evidence code type should be used in the calculation of the co-occurence statistics.
