These are reflected in differences of their plasma membrane composition. The essential and fascinating task of polarized protein transport in epithelial cells is to get the right protein into the right membrane. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/protein-transport-processes-at-the-apical-membrane-of-polarized-epithelial-cells/ Mon, 12 Mar 2012 00:00:00 +0100 Dr. Christoph Greb Using TIRF microscopy, scientists have been able to take a closer look at intracellular transport processes with the example of the galactose-binding protein Galectin-3, which has been identified as a potential apical sorting receptor. http://www.leica-microsystems.com/science-lab/exploring-cell-logistics/ Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:29:00 +0100 Dipl.
