A

vesicular export of molecules out of the cell

146

  • 2 main pathways
147
Q

2 pathways of exocytosis

A
  1. constitutive transport
  2. regulated secretion
148
Q

function of exocytosis

A

maintain balance of inward membrane flow with outward membrane flow

149
Q

Purpose of constitutive transport

A
  • transports secretory vesicles from the TGN to the PM
  • delivers proteoglycans and glycoproteins out of cell
150
Q

Purpose of Regulated secretion

A
  • special class of secretory vesicles that rely on rapid, signal dependent release
151
Q

What is regulated pathway dependent on

A

assembly of vesicle is clathrin dependent, microtubule and actin cytoskeleton dependent, and release of cargo is signal dependent

152

A

Use a sorting signal thought to be some type of patch that lead to distinct secretory vesicles (or granules)

156
Q

Are regulated secreted vesicles clathrin dependent

A

yes, they use a clathrin mediated mechanism to bud vesicle
- involves acidification by V-type ATPase

157
