Flattened membranous sacs; packages proteins into vesicles for secretion, modifies proteins that become part of cell membranes, and packages enzymes into lysosomes. Also called Golgi complex or Golgi body.
The endomembrane system divides the cell in the structural and functional unit of the cell organelle. The organelle of endomembrane system includes, nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, golgi bodies, lysosomes and vesicles. The endomembrane system is useful in protein trafficking in the eukaryotic organism.
The initiation of protein sorting and transport process starts in the endoplasmic reticulum. The signal recognition particle is present in the endoplasmic reticulum. The protein is further transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing and packaging. Only proper folded protein from the ER transported to the Golgi.
