Eukaryotic mRNAs are not found inside the Golgi complex. They are transcribed in the nucleus, modified in the nucleus and then transported to the cytoplasm for translation. However, some mRNAs may be associated with the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where they undergo modification and folding before being transported to the Golgi complex for further processing.
