Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is a normal degradative pathway that involves the sequestration of cytoplasmic components and organelles in a vacuole called an autophagosome that finally fuses with the lysosome. Rab7 is a member of the Rab family involved in transport to late endosomes and in the biogenesis of the perinuclear lysosome compartment. To assess the role of Rab7 in autophagy we stably transfected CHO cells with wild-type...
