Coatomer

Coatomer, also known as the coat protein complex, is a group of proteins that plays a crucial role inside cells by helping to transport molecules between different parts of the cell, such as from the Golgi apparatus to other destinations. Think of it as a cellular postal worker that forms coat-like structures around cargo, sorting and packaging it into vesicles—tiny transport bubbles—so they can be shipped efficiently and accurately. This process is essential for maintaining cell organization, communication, and proper functioning.
