  2. Endoplasmic reticulum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoplasmic_reticulum

    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a part of a transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding. It is a type of organelle made up of two subunits – rough endoplasmic reticulum ( RER ), and smooth endoplasmic reticulum ( SER ).

  3. Cell (biology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_(biology)

    The ER has two forms: the rough ER, which has ribosomes on its surface that secrete proteins into the ER, and the smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes. [2] The smooth ER plays a role in calcium sequestration and release and also helps in synthesis of lipid.

  4. Organelle - Wikipedia

    translation and folding of new proteins (rough endoplasmic reticulum), expression of lipids (smooth endoplasmic reticulum) single-membrane compartment: all eukaryotes: rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered with ribosomes (which are bound to the ribosome membrane), has folds that are flat sacs; smooth endoplasmic reticulum has folds that are ...

  5. Endomembrane system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endomembrane_system

    There are two distinct, though connected, regions of ER that differ in structure and function: smooth ER and rough ER. The rough endoplasmic reticulum is so named because the cytoplasmic surface is covered with ribosomes, giving it a bumpy appearance when viewed through an electron microscope. The smooth ER appears smooth since its cytoplasmic ...

  6. Lysosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysosome

    The nascent peptide chains are translocated into the rough endoplasmic reticulum, where they are modified. Lysosomal soluble proteins exit the endoplasmic reticulum via COPII -coated vesicles after recruitment by the EGRESS complex ( E R-to- G olgi r elaying of e nzymes of the ly s osomal s ystem), which is composed of CLN6 and CLN8 proteins.

  8. Leydig cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leydig_cell

    The acidophilic cytoplasm usually contains numerous membrane-bound lipid droplets and large amounts of smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). [4] Besides the abundance of SER with scattered patches of rough endoplasmic reticulum , several mitochondria are also prominent within the cytoplasm .
