Local Sourcing of Secretory Proteins in Faraway Places.

Local Sourcing of Secretory Proteins in Faraway Places. Trends Neurosci. 2020 Jun 13;: Authors: Farrell RJ, Ryan TA Abstract A recent paper by Carter et al. identifies a novel organelle, the ribosome-associated vesicle (RAV), that might serve as a portable, local factory for producing proteins destined for the secretory pathway. The appearance of RAVs in dendrites suggests they may serve to generate membrane and secreted proteins in distal processes. PMID: 32546404 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
