Abstract
Membrane proteins, membrane lipids, and luminal contents are exchanged amon g the intracellular compartments of eukaryotic cells by vesicular transport . This process must be highly ordered to maintain cellular architecture in the face of rapid membrane turnover The Ras-related Rab GTPases play multip le roles in regulating this traffic.
