Formation of secretory granules (SGs) occurs at the trans-Golgi network (TGN). Here we show that transmembrane SG cargoes (phogrin and VMAT2) do not sort directly onto SGs during budding, but rather exit the TGN into nonregulated vesicles to get incorporated to SGs at a later step, suggesting a more complex model of SG biogenesis than anticipated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
