  2. Golgi apparatus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgi_apparatus

    The Golgi apparatus (/ ˈ ɡ ɒ l dʒ i /), also known as the Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi, is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. [1] Part of the endomembrane system in the cytoplasm , it packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination.

  3. Exocytosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exocytosis

    Certain vesicle-trafficking steps require the transportation of a vesicle over a moderately small distance. For example, vesicles that transport proteins from the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface area, will be likely to use motor proteins and a cytoskeletal track to get closer to their target. Before tethering would have been appropriate ...

  4. Membrane vesicle trafficking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membrane_vesicle_trafficking

    The vesicle is moved towards its target location then docks and fuses. Once vesicles are produced in the endoplasmic reticulum and modified in the Golgi body they make their way to a variety of destinations within the cell. Vesicles first leave the Golgi body and are released into the cytoplasm in a process called budding.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vesicle_(biology_and...

    The membrane enclosing the vesicle is also a lamellar phase, similar to that of the plasma membrane, and intracellular vesicles can fuse with the plasma membrane to release their contents outside the cell. Vesicles can also fuse with other organelles within the cell. A vesicle released from the cell is known as an extracellular vesicle.

  6. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    The Golgi apparatus is used by the cell for further protein modification. The section of the Golgi apparatus that receives the vesicles from the ER is known as the cis face, and is usually near the ER. The opposite end of the Golgi apparatus is called the trans face, this is where the modified compounds leave.

  7. Endosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endosome

    Vesicles pass between the Golgi and endosomes in both directions. The GGAs and AP-1 clathrin-coated vesicle adaptors make vesicles at the Golgi that carry molecules to endosomes. [ 18 ] In the opposite direction, retromer generates vesicles at early endosomes that carry molecules back to the Golgi.

  8. Intracellular transport - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intracellular_transport

    Small membrane bound vesicles responsible for transporting proteins from one organelle to another are commonly found in endocytic and secretory pathways.Vesicles bud from their donor organelle and release the contents of their vesicle by a fusion event in a particular target organelle.

  9. Cisterna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisterna

    These different variations of Golgi cisternae are categorized into three groups; cis Golgi network, medial, and trans Golgi network. [2] The cis Golgi network is the first step in the cisternal structure of a protein being packaged, while the trans Golgi network is the last step in the cisternal structure when the vesicle is being transferred ...
