A cell specific peptide (Arg‐Gly‐Asp; RGD)‐modified nanogel was prepared and evaluated for its potential to act as a protein delivery carrier. A bovine serum albumin (BSA)/RGD‐modified nanogel complex was efficiently internalized into cells through integrin‐mediated endocytosis. Endosomal escape of the RGD‐modified nanogel was observed after 24 h incubation. The nanogel proved useful for targeted protein delivery.
