Figure 1
Schematic representation of polarized transport in an epithelial cell. Arrows specify transport from and toward either the apical or the basolateral PM. A1, the biosynthetic route to the apical PM; A2, the apical recycling; B1, the biosynthetic route to the basolateral PM; B2, the basolateral recycling; B/A, the transcytosis from the basolateral to the apical membrane and vice versa. Two distinct populations of postGolgi vesicles (purple filling) are delivered either to the apical or the basolateral PM. Proteins internalized from each PM domain (yellow filling) recycle with apical or basolateral endosomes. Rab3b, Rab13, and Sec6/8 are concentrated in TJ areas (red rings).
