These structures are the site of synthesis for certain membrane lipids, including sphingomyelin and glycosphingolipids.
These structures are the site of synthesis for certain membrane lipids, including sphingomyelin and glycosphingolipids. The exact mechanism of their primary function is still unknown but involves COP1, or coat protein 1, in some way. The best understood of the reactions that they carry out is the remodeling of oligosaccharides that are attached to glycoproteins. Yeasts contain individual portions of them scattered throughout the cell, but usually their cisternae are highly ordered. FTP, name this organelle composed of stacked sacs that distribute proteins and lipids to the endoplasmic reticulum.
