Similar to a small cut that heals itself after a short time, individual cells in our body suffer "wounds" in their protective layer, the cell membrane, every day and have to repair them again.

The polarized localization complements PIN1 function in polarized auxin transport. GNOM is involved in the endosomal recycling of PIN1 to the basal plasma membrane in provascular cells.
