The biology of IQGAP proteins: beyond the cytoskeleton.

abstract：:The cytoplasm is the main place for protein translation from where nascent proteins are transported to their working areas, including the inside, outside, and membrane of the cell. The majority of newly synthesized membrane proteins is co-translationally inserted into the membrane by the evolutionary conserved Sec tra...
