Reference 1: Coordinated protein sorting, targeting and distribution in polarized cells

 * Proteins synthesized in the cytosol will be distributed to their respective organelles which are determined by the amino acid’s sorting sequence.

Reference 2: Essential Cell Biology (Fifth Edition)

 * “Intracellular transport is unique to eukaryotic cells.”
 * The endoplasmic reticulum serves as a channel that proteins will pass through bound for their final destination. Outbound proteins from the ER will use transport vesicles to complete reach their specific destinations.
 * (Fusion): Rab proteins on the surface of the transport vesicle are responsible for aligning with the complementary tethering proteins found on the cytosolic surface of the respective organelle.
 * SNAREs will reinforce the anchor between the transport vesicle and the target location.

Reference 3: Microtubule-Based Transport and the Distribution, Tethering, and Organization of Organelles

 * Motor proteins connect the transport vesicles to the cell cortex to facilitate movement.
 * Intracellular transport is necessary for maintaining homeostasis within the cell by responding to physiological signals.
 * Microtubules and actin filaments provide the matrix for intracellular transport.

Reference 4: Navigating the plant cell: intracellular transport logistics in the green kingdom

 * The transport mechanism depends on material being transported.
 * Intracellular transport that requires quicker movement will use an actin-myosin mechanism while more specialized functions require microtubules for transport.
