Its structure features flattened sacs called cisternae and varies among different kingdoms. Key functions include glycosylation and polysaccharide synthesis for cell walls, especially in plants and fungi. The Trans Golgi Network (TGN) serves as a sorting center for proteins, with two proposed models explaining protein movement.

It explains how amphiphiles aggregate in water, forming structures like micelles and liposomes, driven by thermodynamics and noncovalent interactions. The page delves into the critical micelle concentration (CMC), the hydrophobic effect, and the role of noncovalent forces.

Specialized cells, such as pancreatic exocrine cells, secrete proteins through this mechanism. It also describes the "kiss-and-run" method for neurotransmitter release and the role of endosomes in releasing exosomes, which are vital for immune function.
