Document Summary
Golgi apparatus: items enter from er on the cis-golgi, next is the medial golgi and then trans-golgi (also called tgn = trans golgi network) Increases in acidity towards the trans golgi (trans = 6. 5 ph) Various golgi enzymes are localized to different compartments of the golgi. Cisternae are detaching and peeling off the tgn. Stacks consist of layered cisternae (like stack of pancakes) Golgi enzymes (most notably those that modify n-linked oligosaccharides) are local- ized sharply to particular regions of the golgi. Stacks are arranged in long ribbons with disorganized areas between the stacks. Functions of the golgi: sequential modifications of n-linked oligosaccharides. Glucose is trimmed off in er, and sugars are added in the golgi (ends with negative charge), different enzymes must work in sequence in the golgi. Functions occur at different places in the er: o-linked glycosylation and proteoglycan glycosylation.
