Term ID

GO:0016192

Synonyms

• nonselective vesicle transport
• protein sorting along secretory pathway
• vesicle trafficking
• vesicle transport
• vesicular transport

Definition

A cellular transport process in which transported substances are moved in membrane-bounded vesicles; transported substances are enclosed in the vesicle lumen or located in the vesicle membrane. The process begins with a step that directs a substance to the forming vesicle, and includes vesicle budding and coating. Vesicles are then targeted to, and fuse with, an acceptor membrane. 08789310662000
