ABSTRACT=<p>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.</p>
