The Journey Through a Cell - Packaged and Ready to Go

 So we're back in the Golgi Apparatus, where lots of little things occur.

For us, a tiny little protein, visiting the Golgi Apparatus is an important part of our journey, where there are folds called "cisternae". Here, in the Golgi Apparatus, we are modified after entering the cis face and then packaged into little membranous sacs called vesicles, upon leaving the trans face.

These vesicles are perfect for storage and transport, and contain a single membrane with fluid inside.

Now we're all packaged comfortably into our vesicle, we'll journey again through the cytoskeleton

We're all ready, but how do we escape the cell?

Stay tuned!
