Abstract excerpt
Proteomics has revealed that many proteins are present in unexpected cellular locations. Moreover, it is increasingly recognized that proteins can translocate between intracellular and extracellular compartments in non-conventional ways. This increases gene pleiotrophy as the diverse functions of the protein that the gene encodes are dependent on the cellular location. Given that trafficking drug targets may...
