GO:0005770	Definition	A prelysosomal endocytic organelle defined by the time it takes for endocytosed macromolecules to be delivered. The time of delivery may vary ; for example, late endosomes are usually loaded 4-30 min after endocytic uptake in mammalian cells. late endosomes are more spherical than early endosomes and are mostly juxtanuclear, being concentrated near the microtubule organizing center. They are differentiated from early endosomes by their lower lumenal pH and different protein composition.
