Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes. They are formed from the Golgi apparatus (also known as Golgi complex or Golgi bodies). Proteins and lipids synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum are transported to the Golgi apparatus for further processing and packaging. Lysosomes bud off from the trans face of the Golgi apparatus.

Lysosomes are part of the endomembrane system and originate from the Golgi apparatus.

The enzymes found in lysosomes are synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum, transported to the Golgi, and then packaged into vesicles that mature into lysosomes. The primary function of lysosomes is intracellular digestion.
