Golgi apparatus / Neatness

Golgi apparatus (also named Golgi complex, Golgi body, or simply the Golgi)

Is an organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. It was identified in 1897 by the Italian physician Camillo Golgi. Part of the cellular endomembrane system, the Golgi apparatus packages proteins into membrane-bound vesicles inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. The Golgi apparatus resides at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and endocytic pathways. It is of particular importance in processing proteins for secretion, containing a set of glycosylation enzymes that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus.

Due to its cellular role, the Golgi apparatus in the LaB. World, is used as a metaphor of Neatness.
