14 Facts About Golgi complex
2.
In mammals, a single Golgi complex apparatus is usually located near the cell nucleus, close to the centrosome.

3.
In yeast, multiple Golgi complex apparatuses are scattered throughout the cytoplasm .

4.
In plants, Golgi complex stacks are not concentrated at the centrosomal region and do not form Golgi complex ribbons.
| FactSnippet No. 1,358,112 |
5.
The common feature among Golgi complex is that they are adjacent to endoplasmic reticulum exit sites.

6.
In most eukaryotes, the Golgi complex apparatus is made up of a series of compartments and is a collection of fused, flattened membrane-enclosed disks known as cisternae, originating from vesicular clusters that bud off the endoplasmic reticulum.

7.
The compartmentalization of the Golgi complex apparatus is advantageous for separating enzymes, thereby maintaining consecutive and selective processing steps: enzymes catalyzing early modifications are gathered in the cis face cisternae, and enzymes catalyzing later modifications are found in trans face cisternae of the Golgi complex stacks.

8.
Golgi complex apparatus is a major collection and dispatch station of protein products received from the endoplasmic reticulum .
| FactSnippet No. 1,358,116 |
9.
The Golgi complex apparatus is involved in lipid transport and lysosome formation.
| FactSnippet No. 1,358,117 |
10.
Enzymatic reactions within the Golgi complex stacks occur exclusively near its membrane surfaces, where enzymes are anchored.
| FactSnippet No. 1,358,118 |
11.
The Golgi complex apparatus adds a mannose-6-phosphate label to proteins destined for lysosomes.
| FactSnippet No. 1,358,119 |
12.
Enzymes in the Golgi complex append proteins to glycosaminoglycans, thus creating proteoglycans.
| FactSnippet No. 1,358,120 |
13.
Those proteins destined for areas of the cell other than either the endoplasmic reticulum or the Golgi apparatus are moved through the Golgi cisternae towards the trans face, to a complex network of membranes and associated vesicles known as the trans-Golgi network .
