Secretory Proteins—The Signal Peptide Theory

Compartmentation of Secretory Proteins—The Signal Peptide Theory 

One recurring theme in any discussion of compartmentation is the importance of physical separation of compounds by membranes. In most instances, mechanisms exist to ensure that secretory products 

The separation of compounds within the cell is one of the most basic methods for controlling cellular function. The presence of membrane-bound compartments results in the creation of gradients across which molecules move either passively (by simple diffusion) or by
