Step 1. mRNA is transcribed in the nucleus, exits to the cytosol through, and binds to a ribosome.
Step 2. Protein synthesis occurs at the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
Step 3. The protein travels by vesicle from one organelle to another inside the cell.
Step 4. The Golgi apparatus processes, sorts, and tags the protein for delivery to its final destination.
Step 5. Exocytosis.
