Diagrammatic representation of the rough ER branch of protein sorting. Newly synthesized proteins are inserted into the ER membrane or lumen from
membrane-bound polyribosomes (small black circles studding the cytosolic face of the ER). Proteins that are transported out of the ER are carried in
COPII vesicles to the cis-Golgi (anterograde transport). Movement of proteins through the Golgi appears to be mainly by cisternal maturation. In the TGN,
the exit side of the Golgi, proteins are segregated and sorted. Secretory proteins accumulate in secretory vesicles (regulated secretion), from which they
are expelled at the plasma membrane. Proteins destined for the plasma membrane or those that are secreted in a constitutive manner are carried out to
the cell surface in transport vesicles (constitutive secretion). Clathrin-coated vesicles are involved in endocytosis, carrying cargo to late endosomes and to
