Eukaryotic cells evolved to possess efficient secretory machinery capable of transporting a significant fraction of their proteome. The number of proteins predicted to enter the secretory pathway can reach up to 36% of the total proteome in humans (1). Proteins entering the secretory pathway are efficiently sorted to a specific destination: the extracellular space, the plasma membrane, or the interior of the endomembrane system. The machinery also has...
