Golgi apparatus

The Golgi consists of stacks of smooth, flattened membranous sacs (cisternae), usually located near the nucleus. Newly synthesized proteins are transferred from the RER by transport vesicles, which fuse with the forming, or cis, face of the Golgi. From there, proteins move through the mid-Golgi where they are modified, and eventually exit in vesicles from the maturing, or trans, face. The resultant collection of vesicles, along with a network of microtubules, form the trans-Golgi network. The microtubules provide the tracks along which the vesicles are transported throughout the cell.  25,000x
