Abstrakt: Here, we present a protocol for visualization and quantification of the recruitment of newly synthesized G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) to coat protein complex II vesicles and GPCR transport from the endoplasmic reticulum through the Golgi to the cell surface in the retention using the selective hooks assay. We describe steps for plasmid construction, cell transfection, transport synchronization, confocal microscope imaging, and quantification. This protocol is also applicable for studying the transport of non-GPCR cargoes. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Xu et al. 1 , 2 .
