Exocytosis and endocytosis are fundamental biological processes for all eukaryotes. They occur across a wide array of species, organs, and cell types, yet utilize common principles and closely related molecular machinery. Exocytosis is the vesicular delivery of cargo to the cell surface (for membrane proteins) or to the extracellular medium (for soluble compounds). Endocytosis is the reverse process. Two general classes of exocytosis exist: constitutive and calcium-triggered. The former occurs in all eukaryotic cells for cell membrane maintenance and release of compounds such as cell matrix components. The latter occurs in cells specialized in secreting cargo on-demand, eg secretion of digestive enzymes into the pancreatic duct (and ultimately into the duodenum) after a meal, insulin secretion into the bloodstream by pancreatic β-cells following a rise in blood glucose, or catecholamine secretion by adrenal chromaffin cells under stress response, to name a few. A highly specialized and tightly controlled version of exocytosis controls synaptic vesicle release in neuronal presynaptic terminals and underlies neuronal communication.Endocytosis comes in several varieties1, but all involve generation of a plasma membrane bud into the cytosol that is pinched-off. Endocytosis is essential for fighting infection (phagocytosis), uptake of nutrients, signalling, and cell membrane homeostasis. It is also hijacked by pathogens such as the influenza virus, to enter cells.
