Golgirelated
Golgirelated is an adjective used to describe topics, processes, or findings that are connected to the Golgi apparatus, a central organelle in the eukaryotic secretory pathway. The Golgi apparatus consists of flattened membrane-bound sacs, called cisternae, organized into cis, medial, and trans regions. It receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum, modifies them through post-translational processes, and sorts them for delivery to lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.
Key areas of Golgirelated study include protein modification and trafficking. Enzymatic activities within the Golgi carry
In health and disease, Golgirelated dysfunction contributes to congenital disorders of glycosylation, as well as other
The term Golgirelated reflects the historical naming of the Golgi apparatus after Camillo Golgi, and encompasses
