Abstract excerpt
Cathepsin D carries a mannose 6-phosphate sorting signal which is recognized by a specific mannose 6-phosphate receptor, presumably at the site of the trans Golgi network, which segregates cathepsin D from the secretory proteins, and results in targeting of the enzyme to the acidic prelysosomal compartments and lysosomes in mammalian cells. Recent evidence implies that another sorting signal resides within the...
