Developmental Induction of Golgi Structure and Function in the Primitive Eukaryote Giardia lamblia

Abstract excerpt

A fundamental characteristic of eukaryotic cells is the presence of membrane-bound compartments and membrane transport pathways in which the Golgi complex plays a central role in the selective processing, sorting, and secretion of proteins. The parasitic protozoan Giardia lamblia belongs to the earliest identified lineage among eukaryotes and therefore offers unique insight into the progression from primitive to...
