A protein that is normally localized in the cytoplasm has been engineered so that it will be secreted from the cell instead. Which of the following represents the most likely pathway for the protein after it has been completely synthesized?
A protein that is normally localized in the cytoplasm has been engineered so that it will be secreted from the cell instead. Which of the following represents the most likely pathway for the protein after it has been completely synthesized?
| A. sER \\to Golgi \\to secretory vesicle \\to environment |
| B. rER \\to secretory vesicle \\to Golgi \\to environment |
| C. rER \\to Golgi \\to sER \\to cytoplasm \\to environment |
| D. cytoplasm \\to rER \\to Golgi \\to secretory vesicle \\to environment |
| E. rER \\to Golgi \\to secretory vesicle \\to environment |
Solution
The most likely pathway for the protein after it has been completely synthesized is
Option A. sER to Golgi to Secretory vesicle to environment.
This pathway is also called Secretory pathway.When the protein finally moves out to the environment, it is called Exoctytosis
