Course content

The course deals with membrane structure, transport of proteins into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), through the Golgi apparatus and out of the cell; chemical modification of proteins, different forms of endocytosis and intracellular transport; factors that regulate intracellular transport and fusion with different organelles; newly discovered pathways in the cell.

Learning outcome

After completing the course you are expected to have an overview of the research front in subjects such as:

• Endocytic mechanisms and intracellular sorting
• Transport of newly synthesized proteins into the ER and control of newly synthesized proteins
• An overview of models for how transport through the Golgi apparatus occurs
• Pathways for transport out of the cell

Admission

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.

If you are not already enrolled as a student at UiO, please see our information about admission requirements and procedures.

Prerequisites

Withdrawal from an examination

It is possible to take the exam up to 3 times. If you withdraw from the exam after the deadline or during the exam, this will be counted as an examination attempt.

It will also be counted as one of the three attempts to sit the exam for this course, if you sit the exam for one of the following course BIOS5913 – Molecular mechanisms of intracellular transport
