Caveolae on the move

Nature Cell Biology volume 3, pages E108–E109 (2001)Cite this article

Caveolae deliver simian virus 40 (SV40) to a new compartment called a caveosome, where the virus is sorted for transport to the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER). This pathway bypasses other endocytic organelles, and early steps may be shared by lipid rafts and certain glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins.
