  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. Microtubule organizing center - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule_organizing_center

    The Golgi apparatus reorients along with the MTOC, and together cause the cell to seemingly send a polarized signal. [ 5 ] In immune responses, upon interaction with a target cell in response to antigen-specific loaded antigen-presenting cells, immune cells, such as the T cells , natural killer cells , and cytotoxic T lymphocytes, localize ...

  4. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    The Golgi apparatus (also known as the Golgi body and the Golgi complex) is composed of separate sacs called cisternae. Its shape is similar to a stack of pancakes. The number of these stacks varies with the specific function of the cell. The Golgi apparatus is used by the cell for further protein modification.

  5. Subcellular localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subcellular_localization

    Some major constituents of eukaryotic cells are: extracellular space, plasma membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria, Golgi apparatus, endoplasmic reticulum (ER), peroxisome, vacuoles, cytoskeleton, nucleoplasm, nucleolus, nuclear matrix and ribosomes. Bacteria also have subcellular localizations that can be separated when the cell is ...

  6. Cytosol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytosol

    The cytosol, also known as cytoplasmic matrix or groundplasm, [2] is one of the liquids found inside cells (intracellular fluid (ICF)). [3] It is separated into compartments by membranes.

  7. Cisterna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisterna

    As well as the location of the cis and trans Golgi network. 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 to either the lysosome, the cell surface or the secretory vesicle.

  8. Microtubule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtubule

    In these cells, the microtubules play important roles in cell migration. Moreover, the polarity of microtubules is acted upon by motor proteins, which organize many components of the cell, including the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus. Components of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton.

  9. Golgin subfamily A member 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golgin_subfamily_A_member_2

    The Golgi apparatus, which participates in glycosylation and transport of proteins and lipids in the secretory pathway, consists of a series of stacked cisternae (flattened membrane sacs). Interactions between the Golgi and microtubules are thought to be important for the reorganization of the Golgi after it fragments during mitosis. [ 6 ]
