The Golgi complex is mainly responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins. It receives proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum and then modifies them by adding complex sugars, lipids, and phosphate groups. The Golgi also sorts these molecules and targets them to their appropriate destinations, such as the plasma membrane or lysosomes. Finally, the Golgi packages the molecules into vesicles for transport.
