Action pathwayAction targetFunctionReferences

BiogenesisESCRT componentsReduce the release of exosomes and change their content components[118]
aSMaseDecrease the sorting and production of exosomes[119]
TetraspaninReduce the production of MVBs and change the mRNA content and protein composition of exosomes[120]
Rab proteinInhibit the binding of MVBs to the plasma membrane[12, 13, 121]

Release processDiacylglycerol kinase alphaInhibition of the release of exosomes containing the Fas ligand[122]
Na+/Ca2+ channelReduce the release of exosomes[123]
PhosphatidylserineInterfere with the binding of EVs to receptor cells[124ā€“127]

Ingestion processDyneinInhibition of exosomal uptake by receptor cells[19]
