Abstract
The Golgi apparatus is the central hub of the cellular endocrine pathway and plays a crucial role in processing, transporting, and sorting proteins and lipids. Simultaneously, it is a highly dynamic organelle susceptible to degradation or fragmentation under various physiological or pathological conditions, potentially contributing to the development of numerous human diseases. Autophagy serves as a vital pathway for eukaryotes to manage intracellular and extracellular stress and maintain homeostasis by targeting damaged or redundant organelles for removal. Recent research has revealed that autophagy mechanisms can specifically degrade Golgi components, known as Golgiphagy. This review summarizes recent findings on Golgiphagy while also addressing unanswered questions regarding its mechanisms and regulation, aiming to advance our understanding of the role of Golgiphagy in human disease.
