Overview

Intracellular compartments are metazoan cell structures that are bound by membranes and separated from the rest of the cell. They play an essential role in cellular physiology due to the specialized cellular processes, such as lipid metabolism and protein synthesis, that they house. Intracellular compartments also help maintain an orderly and organized cytoplasm and can provide a protective environment for sensitive processes. Furthermore, they can help regulate the movement of molecules into and out of the cell, and can facilitate enzymatic reactions within the cell. As such, intracellular compartments are essential for maintaining proper cellular function.
