The Golgi apparatus is a cellular organelle that processes and packages various macromolecules into vesicles. It was first described in 1898 by an Italian anatomist named Camillo Golgi.

Proteins to be exported are passed from the Endoplasmic reticulum to the Golgi apparatus for further processing, packaging, and transport to a variety of other cellular locations.[1]
