title: Protein secretion: puzzling receptors.
abstract: All known sorting receptors for soluble cargo in the secretory pathway are transmembrane proteins. For sorting to the regulated pathway, however, a subpopulation of secretory proteins, associated with the membrane but not membrane-spanning, appears to link cargo and membrane in storage granule biogenesis.
