Abstract excerpt
Secretory polypeptides are vital for nervous system function, sleep, reproduction, growth, and metabolism. Ribosomes scanning the 5'-end of mRNA usually detect the first AUG site for initiating translation. The nascent propeptide chain is then directed via a signal-peptide into the endoplasmic reticulum, processed through the Golgi stacks, and packaged into secretory vesicles. By expressing prepropeptide-EGFP...
