context: The endomembrane system is a membrane set that forms a single functional and developmental unit, whether connected directly together, or exchanging material through vesicle transport. The endomembrane system consists of different membranes that are suspended in the cytoplasm in eukaryotic cells. The various membranes in eukaryote cells are part of the endomembrane system. These membranes are connected through direct physical connections or through transfer between membrane segments in the form of small vesicles (bubbles wrapped in membranes). The endomembrane system includes the nuclear envelope, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi body, lysosomes, various types of vacuoles, and plasma membranes. [1] This system has a variety of functions, including protein synthesis and modification as well as protein transport to membranes and organelles or outside the cell, lipid synthesis, and neutralization of several types of toxins.
