golgi

A stacked array of membranous cisternae & connecting tubules or vesicles between the nucleus & the secretory pole of a cell. It is receives nascent polypeptides from the endoplasmic reticulum, destined for the secretory pathway. Function: 3 major functions: [2] 1) carbohydrate processing & modification of proteins & lipids moving through the secretory pathway 2) protein sorting & transport, receiving membrane from the ER & delivering it to the plasma membrane or other intracellular sites 3) membrane scaffold onto which diverse signaling, sorting & cytoskeleton proteins adhere Classification: - cis, trans & intermediate GOLGI compartments have been described
