Sorting and trafficking of ion transport proteins in polarized epithelial cells.
Transport proteins are targeted to specific plasmalemmal domains in polarized epithelial cells. The molecular signals that govern these sorting events are just beginning to be elucidated. In many cases, the cell surface delivery of transport proteins is subjected to tight regulation. Several different mechanisms appear to participate in these trafficking processes.
