The Golgi apparatus is responsible for packing proteins from the rough endoplasmic reticulum into membrane-bound vesicles which then trans locate to the cell membrane. At the cell membrane, the vesicles can fuse with the larger lipid bi layer, causing the vesicle contents to either become part of the cell membrane or be released to the outside.
