Abstract
The endosomal system includes distinct endocytic compartments where decisions are made that determine the destinations of extracellular and plasma membrane materials that have been internalized. A new family of proteins has been found that governs the exit of material from one of these endocytic organelles, the endosomal recycling compartment (ERC).
