Towards a unified framework for the function of endoplasmic reticulum exit sites
Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, Published online: 29 September 2025; doi:10.1038/s41580-025-00899-0Endoplasmic reticulum exit sites (ERES) are specialized ER subdomains that regulate the export of secreted cargo. This Roadmap explores how ERES integrate biochemical and mechanical signals to coordinate trafficking and proposes a multidisciplinary strategy to investigate their function, including in disease.
