Association of Golgi transport vesicles with microtubules

One mechanism of transport of connexon-containing vesicles involves movement along microtubules (Segretain and Falk, 2004). Such a transport system has been described for similar secretory vesicles (Toomre et al., 1999). Direct microtubule-dependent transport of connexons to GJ-assembly sites has recently been reported as well (Shaw et al., 2007).

一种包含connexon的囊泡运输机制涉及沿微管的运动（Segretain 和 Falk, 2004）。对于类似的分泌囊泡，此类运输系统已被描述（Toomre 等，1999）。近期亦已报道直接依赖微管的connexon向间隙连接组装位点的运输（Shaw 等，2007）。
