The '''Golgi apparatus''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|ɡ|ɒ|l|dʒ|i}}), also known as the '''Golgi complex''', '''Golgi body''', or simply the '''Golgi''', is an [[organelle]] found in most [[eukaryotic]] [[Cell (biology)|cells]].<ref name="Pavelk-2008">{{cite book|title=The Golgi Apparatus: State of the art 110 years after Camillo Golgi's discovery|vauthors=Pavelk M, Mironov AA|publisher=Springer|year=2008|isbn=978-3-211-76310-0|location=Berlin|page=580|doi=10.1007/978-3-211-76310-0_34|chapter=Golgi apparatus inheritance}}</ref> Part of the [[endomembrane system]] in the [[cytoplasm]], it [[protein targeting|packages proteins]] into [[membrane-bound]] [[Vesicle (biology and chemistry)|vesicle]]s inside the cell before the vesicles are sent to their destination. It resides at the intersection of the secretory, lysosomal, and [[Endocytosis|endocytic]] pathways. It is of particular importance in processing [[protein]]s for [[secretion]], containing a set of [[glycosylation]] [[enzyme]]s that attach various sugar monomers to proteins as the proteins move through the apparatus.

The Golgi apparatus was identified in 1898 by the Italian biologist and pathologist [[Camillo Golgi]].<ref name="Fabene-1998">{{cite journal|vauthors=Fabene PF, Bentivoglio M|date=October 1998|title=1898-1998: Camillo Golgi and "the Golgi": one hundred years of terminological clones|journal=Brain Research Bulletin|volume=47|issue=3|pages=195–8|doi=10.1016/S0361-9230(98)00079-3|pmid=9865849|s2cid=208785591 }}</ref> The organelle was later named after him in the 1910s.<ref name="Fabene-1998" />
