what is functions golgi body
The Golgi body is a cell organelle that is part of the cellular endomembrane system found in eukaryotic cells. It is also called the Golgi apparatus or Golgi complex. The function of the Golgi body includes sorting and processing proteins. After proteins are assembled in the rough endoplasmic reticulum, they travel to the Golgi body for processing and distribution throughout the cell or to an extracellular destination.
Golgi vesicles are released from the apparatus to transport the finished proteins to their final destinations. Another function of the Golgi body is to assist in the distribution of lipids. While the rough endoplasmic reticulum assembles proteins for modification, the smooth endoplasmic reticulum creates lipids and passes them on to the Golgi body.
