See Endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus Proteins can be transported directly to the plasma membrane (constitutive secretion) or to secretory granules (regulated secretion). From here, there are two pathways that proteins can take to the cell surface, depending on the cell type. When the proteins reach the last cisterna of the Golgi, a highly tubulated region known as the trans-Golgi network, they are sorted and packaged again into transport vesicles, some of which are in the form of elongated tubules. After they are folded, the proteins enter small vesicles in which they are transported to the Golgi apparatus. Proteins destined for export are synthesized on ribosomes attached to the outside of the rough endoplasmic reticulum, a portion of the endoplasmic reticulum that is specialized for the synthesis of secretory proteins and most of the cell's membrane proteins. Secreted proteins are important in many physiological processes, from the transport of lipids and nutrients in the blood, to the digestion of food in the intestine, to the regulation of metabolic processes by hormones. With few exceptions, in eukaryotic cells proteins are exported via the secretory pathway, which includes the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus.

Plant secretions include nectar and various enzymes concerned with the digestion of nutrients within the plant cells.

Among the excretions from the body are urine (from the kidneys), perspiration (from the sweat glands), and bile pigments (from the gall bladder). A gland may vary from a single cell to a complex system of tubes that unite and open onto a surface through a duct. Organ that manufactures chemical substances. The endocrine (ductless) glands secrete hormones that enter directly into the bloodstream (see gland gland, Certain secretions serve as lubricants, e.g., the synovial fluid in joints or the secretions from mucous membranes and from the lachrymal (tear) glands. Digestive secretions include saliva, gastric juice, intestinal juice, pancreatic juice, and bile. Some secretions perform special functions in the body (true secretions) others are eliminated as waste products (excretions). Secretions in humans can be produced by a single cell or by a group of cells commonly called a gland. Additional analysis demonstrated that YopP and YspH secretion was resto.Secretion, in biology, substance elaborated by the living material of an animal or plant. These results indicate YspG, YspH, and YspJ are actually YopN, YopP, and YopE.

Furthermore, mutations in yopN, yopP, and yopE specifically blocked YopN, YopP, and YopE secretion by the Ysc TTSS and YspG, YspH, and YspJ secretion by the Ysa TTSS. Immunoblot analysis demonstrated that antibodies directed against YopN, YopP, and YopE recognized YspG, YspH, and YspJ. enterocolitica indicated that YspG, YspH, and YspJ have apparent molecular masses similar to those of YopN, YopP, and YopE, respectively. A comparison of Ysps with Yop effectors secreted by Y. This indicated that YspG, YspH, and YspJ are encoded by genes located on pYVe8081 and that they may correspond to Yops. Furthermore, mutations that blocked the function of the Ysc TTSS did not affect YspG, YspH, and YspJ production. In this study, secretion of YspG, YspH, and YspJ by the Ysa TTSS was shown to require pYVe8081. The Ysc TTSS and the Yop effector proteins it exports are encoded by genes located on plasmid pYVe8081. The Ysa TTSS is encoded by a set of genes located on the chromosome and exports Ysp proteins. Yersinia enterocolitica O:8 has two contact-dependent type III secretion systems (TTSSs).
