Term Information

Accession: GO:0005802
Name: trans-Golgi network
Ontology: cellular_component
Synonyms: TGN, trans Golgi network, Golgi trans face, Golgi trans-face, late Golgi, maturing face, trans face
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The network of interconnected tubular and cisternal structures located within the Golgi apparatus on the side distal to the endoplasmic reticulum, from which secretory vesicles emerge. The trans-Golgi network is important in the later stages of protein secretion where it is thought to play a key role in the sorting and targeting of secreted proteins to the correct destination. Source: GOC:vw, ISBN:0815316194
Comment: There are different opinions about whether the TGN should be considered part of the Golgi apparatus or not. We follow Alberts et al, 1994 (ISBN:0815316194), who consider it to be a part.
