The Golgi body is an organelle in charge of altering proteins and lipids after
translation and getting them ready for transport to spots within and outside the cell.
This part of our study investigates its makeup, focusing on three key sections— cis
side, middle section, and trans side, and how they contribute to sugar attachment to
proteins, lipid processing, and protein arrangement. Furthermore, the chapter discusses
how it plays a role in cell functions like secretion and creating lysosomes, and its
impact on diseases like neurodegenerative conditions, infections, and cancer. It also
covers progress in treatments and research related to the Golgi apparatus, including its
involvement in the dynamics of COVID-19.
Keywords: Cancer, Cisternae, COVID-19, Golgi Apparatus, Lysosome Formation, Neurodegenerative Diseases, Phosphorylation, Post-Translational Modification, Protein Sorting, RAB GTPase, Sphingomyelin, TGN (Trans Golgi Network), Α-Synuclein.
