The Golgi Apparatus is a vital organelle found in eukaryotic cells. It acts as a processing and packaging center, sorting and modifying proteins and lipids synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum before they are transported to their final destinations within or outside the cell. Structurally, it consists of a series of flattened membrane-bound sacs called cisternae, stacked upon one another like pancakes. Within these cisternae, molecules undergo various post-translational modifications such as glycosylation, sulfation, and phosphorylation, essential for their functionality. The Golgi also plays a role in the synthesis of certain complex carbohydrates. Its functions are crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis and ensuring proper cellular communication. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of cell biology. It elucidates the concepts and innovative models around prospective developments with respect to the Golgi Apparatus. This book is a collective contribution of a renowned group of international experts.
