Proteins are bundled into tiny vesicles and delivered to the Golgi apparatus
The Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins and other materials from the endoplasmic reticulum for storage in the cell or release outside the cell
The Golgi apparatus puts the final touches on proteins before they are moved to their final destination
Important role in the synthesis of proteoglycans
Structure:
Made up of membrane-bound structures called cisternae
Cisternae have a flat, membrane enclosed disc that contains special golgi enzymes that modify or help to modify proteins that travel through them
Individual stack is called a dictyosome
Each cisternae carries structural proteins that are important for their maintenance
Normally 4-8 per stack, as many as 60
Mammalian cells usually contain 40-100 stacks
Cisterae stacks are divided into four functional regions
Cis-Golgi network
Medial Golgi
Endo-Golgi
Trans-Golgi network
Each region contains different enzymes that selectively modify the contents depending on which region they are in
