Neuronal Receptors Display Cytoskeleton-Independent Directed Motion on the Plasma Membrane

Summary: Directed transport of transmembrane proteins is generally believed to occur via intracellular transport vesicles. However, using single-particle tracking in rat hippocampal neurons with a pH-sensitive quantum dot probe that specifically reports surface movement of receptors, we have identif...
