A mechanism which uses selective gates to actively transport proteins from one cellular compartment to another. The process of the secretory and endocytic pathways, in which proteins are loaded into transport vesicles and then delivered to a different cellular compartments by the process of exocytosis. The process by which proteins are moved into or through the cell membranes by protein translocator molecules that recognize their signal peptides.
