Abstract:
Special localization and polarization distribution of protein which are achieved by trafficking after translation in ribosome is essential to maintain normal function of proteins. The emergence of novel labeling techniques and imaging strategies can directly be used to observe the transport process of proteins in cells and study molecular mechanism of protein trafficking. This review focuses on techniques and methodological strategies for studying protein trafficking.
