Wikipedia

  1. Golgi apparatus

    The Golgi apparatus (), also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm, it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. It resides at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways. It is of particular importance in processing proteins for secretion, containing a set of glycosylation enzymes that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus. It was identified in 1897 by the Italian scientist Camillo Golgi and was named after him in 1898.

  1. golgi apparatus

    The Golgi apparatus, also known as the Golgi complex, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. It is responsible for processing and packaging the macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell. The Golgi apparatus also plays a role in the transport of lipids around the cell, and the creation of lysosomes. It is integral to the process of transporting cellular materials to their correct location or secreting them from the cell.

U.S. National Library of Medicine

  1. Golgi Apparatus

    A stack of flattened vesicles that functions in posttranslational processing and sorting of proteins, receiving them from the rough ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and directing them to secretory vesicles, LYSOSOMES, or the CELL MEMBRANE. The movement of proteins takes place by transfer vesicles that bud off from the rough endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus and fuse with the Golgi, lysosomes or cell membrane. (From Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990)
