“…In the classical pathway, proteins that contain a specific N-terminal signal sequence are translocated into the ER, transported to the Golgi and then secreted by secretory vesicles
[30,32,33]. Accumulating evidence indicates that a large number of signal-less proteins can also be secreted through the non-classical pathway
[1,2,4,5,10,21,23,31],
[34], including metabolic enzymes, chaperones, translation factors, and transcriptional regulators
[5,8,9,11,20-24,31,34-37]. Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is a glycolytic enzyme and has been shown by immuno-transmission electron microscopy (immuno-TEM) to be present on the surface of Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae [14].…”
