Vesicle trafficking
= Vesicle trafficking
<Vesicle trafficking> moves membrane and cargo between cellular compartments through transport carriers. Cargo selection and budding are followed by targeting, <vesicle docking> and <membrane fusion>. A carrier from the <endoplasmic reticulum> can deliver newly synthesized <proteins> to the <Golgi apparatus>, while other carriers retrieve resident components. Directional transport maintains distinct compartments despite continual membrane exchange; it depends on selective recognition rather than random mixing. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapter 13, Intracellular Vesicular Traffic]{ref}
