What is an extracellular enzyme?
Question:
What is an extracellular enzyme?
Exocytosis:
Exocytosis is a cellular pathway used to transport materials such as proteins and neurotransmitters outside a cell. Exocytosis is an active transport mechanism and therefore requires cellular energy. The counterpart of exocytosis is endocytosis; both involve the transport of materials in small membranous vesicles (endo = into the cell, exo = out of the cell).
