GO: A membrane-bounded organelle that receives incoming material from primary endocytic vesicles that have been generated by clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent endocytosis; vesicles fuse with the early endosome to deliver cargo for sorting into recycling or degradation pathways. [GOC:mah, PMID:19696797],GO: OBSOLETE (was not defined before being made obsolete). [GOC:go_curators],GO: A membrane-bounded intracellular vesicle formed by invagination of the plasma membrane around an extracellular substance. Endocytic vesicles fuse with early endosomes to deliver the cargo for further sorting. [GOC:go_curators, PMID:19696797],NCI: The endosomal compartment that fuses with endocytic vesicles and sorts the plasma membrane components from any internalized molecules that are targeted for lysosomal degradation.,NCI: A membrane-bound vesicle that is involved in transport of extracellular factors into a cell.
