Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A novel assay was devised to search a signal sequence of the clathrin-mediated endocytosis. We found a novel endocytic signal sequence within the N-terminal region of the vesicular GABA transporter VGAT. VGAT is targeted to synaptic vesicles via the clathrin-mediated endocytosis pathway in which this signal sequence is involved.
