protein retention in Golgi apparatus

Term ID

GO:0045053

Synonyms

• maintenance of protein location in Golgi apparatus
• protein-Golgi retention
• retention of protein in Golgi

Definition

The retention of proteins within the Golgi apparatus. Golgi-localized carbohydrate-modifying enzymes have a short N-terminal domain that faces the cytosol, a single transmembrane alpha helix, and a large C-terminal domain that faces the Golgi lumen and that contains the catalytic site. How the membrane-spanning alpha helix in a Golgi enzyme causes its localization and prevents its movement to the plasma membrane is not known. 0716731363
