Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting

Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting (Cvt) is an autophagy-related pathway in yeast. Under vegetative conditions it delivers hydrolases, such as aminopeptidase 1 (Ape1), to the vacuole.[1][2] This makes the cvt pathway the only known biosynthetic pathway to utilize the machinery of autophagy for operation.[1]

Nomenclature

The abbreviation Cvt comes from the emphasis Cytoplasm vacuole targeting, not from Cytoplasm-to-vacuole targeting.

gollark: That's the point.
gollark: They can vote, obviously.
gollark: - In order to preserve freedom of speech and ensure disagreeing views can be heard, I will ban/criticize anyone who agrees with me from and promote anyone who disagrees.
gollark: - So that women aren't forced to bear children they don't want to, mandatory sterilization for all - children would be grown in vats and raised by the government instead of being "born".
gollark: Ethics, mostly.
