Transport between ER and Golgi.

In the last eighteen months, it has become clear that some classes of proteins are actively recruited into endoplasmic reticulum export carriers, whereas others are exported as bulk-flow cargo. Subsequent transport to the Golgi is mediated by tubulovesicular membranes. The anterograde membrane flow is compensated for by a retrograde pathway, which, in addition to the recycling of membrane and proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum, may play a role in anterograde cargo concentration.
