Synonyms
  • nonselective vesicle transport
  • protein sorting along secretory pathway
  • vesicle trafficking
  • vesicle transport
  • vesicular transport
Definition
A cellular transport process in which transported substances are moved in membrane-bounded vesicles; transported substances are enclosed in the vesicle lumen or located in the vesicle membrane. The process begins with a step that directs a substance to the forming vesicle, and includes vesicle budding and coating. Vesicles are then targeted to, and fuse with, an acceptor membrane. 08789310662000
