Detailed explanation-1: -The Golgi apparatus, or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion. In addition, as noted earlier, glycolipids and sphingomyelin are synthesized within the Golgi.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Golgi apparatus is the sorting, packaging and distribution center of the exocytic pathway, handling proteins and lipids destined for the ER, plasma membrane, endosomes and lysosomes or the Golgi itself (Fig. 5).
Detailed explanation-3: -Golgi apparatus is the site for the synthesis of various glycolipids and sphingomyelin. The main function of the Golgi apparatus is in the formation of proteoglycans. Golgi apparatus is also referred to as the Golgi body.
