Question

The Golgi apparatus is made up of an ordered series of compartments. To process N-linked oligosaccharides, different Golgi compartments carry different enzymes that alter the sugar chains sequentially. Which Golgi cisternae are normally responsible for the addition of galactose and sialic acid, respectively, in complex oligosaccharides?
