Opening talk of the 14th annual Horizons in Molecular Biology International PhD Symposium
Collagens are the most abundant secretory proteins, comprising 25-30% of the human body weight and essential for skin and tissue organization, and production of mineralized bones. Secreted chylomicrons and VLDL control cholesterol and dietary lipids homeostasis. Clearly these cargoes are extremely important for normal human physiology, but how are these bulky proteins exported if they cannot fit into the known standard transport vesicles of the secretory pathway?
