The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

    Cell polarity is essential for cellular function. Directional transport within a cell is called polarized transport, and it plays an important role in cell polarity. In this review, we will introduce the molecular mechanisms of polarized transport, particularly apical transport, and its physiological importance.

    Keywords: polarized transport1, cell polarity2, apical transport3, unconventional transport4, Rab85
