The cilium is the site of function for a variety of membrane receptors, enzymes
and signal transduction modules crucial for a spectrum of cellular processes.
Through targeted transport and selective gating mechanisms, the cell localizes
specific proteins to the cilium that equip it for the role of sensory antenna.
This capacity of the cilium to serve as a specialized compartment where specific
proteins can be readily concentrated for sensory reception also makes it an ideal
organelle to employ for the regulated emission of specific biological material
and information. In this review we present and discuss an emerging body of
evidence centered on ciliary ectosomes - bioactive vesicles released from the
surface of the cilium.
