abstract：:The Golgi apparatus serves as the major site of glycosylation reactions. Nucleotide sugars which are substrates of the Golgi localized glycosyltransferases are synthesized in the cytoplasm (cell nucleus in case of CMP-sialic acid) and must be transported into the compartment lumen. This transport function is carried o...
