title: Epithelial polarity: sorting out the sorters.
abstract: Epithelial cell polarity depends on the continuous sorting of plasma membrane proteins. While various sorting signals and pathways have been identified, only recently has a protein been identified that recognizes such sorting determinants and mediates sorting to a specific cell-surface domain.
