Organelles of the secretory and endocytic pathways are distinguished by their luminal acidity, which is generated by the activity of an electrogenic vacuolar-type hydrogen ATPase. Progressive acidification of vesicles in the endocytic pathway is essential for the redistribution and degradation of internalized membrane proteins, such as ligand receptor complexes and fluid-phase solutes. It may play an important role in maintaining cation homeostasis and function of the trans-Golgi network.
