Function: Sort proteins and lipids received from the ER Adds molecules or chops tiny pieces off the ends (modifies) Sort and package these molecules into vesicles for transport to other parts of the cell or secretion from the cell

Made up of a series of membrane-covered sacs called cisternae. A complex network of tubules and vesicles is located at the edges of the cisternae. The cis face is found near the endoplasmic reticulum . The trans face is located more towards the plasma membrane . Secretion vesicles are formed around the molecules.
