  1. Oct 3, 2015 · The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a large, dynamic structure that serves many roles in the cell including calcium storage, protein synthesis and lipid metabolism. The diverse functions of the ER are performed by distinct domains; consisting of tubules, sheets and the nuclear envelope.

    The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of flattened sacs and branching tubules that extends throughout the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells. These sacs and tubules are all interconnected by a single continuous membrane so that the organelle has only one large, highly convoluted and complexly arranged lumen (internal space). Usually referred...

    The endoplasmic reticulum manufactures, processes, and transports a wide variety of biochemical compounds for use inside and outside of the cell. Consequently, many of the proteins found in the cisternal space of the endoplasmic reticulum lumen are there only transiently as they pass on their way to other locations. Other proteins, however, are tar...

    There are two basic kinds of endoplasmic reticulum morphologies: rough and smooth. The surface of rough endoplasmic reticulum is covered with ribosomes, giving it a bumpy appearance when viewed through the microscope. This type of endoplasmic reticulum is involved mainly with the production and processing of proteins that will be exported, or secre...

  2. The ER is a highly dynamic organelle, continuously undergoing rearrangements that include tubule branching, branchpoint sliding, tubule retraction, tubule–tubule membrane fusion, ring closure and ER partitioning during cell division [6–9].

  3. Sep 7, 2021 · The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a subcellular organelle responsible for a variety of essential cellular functions. In the ER, proteins are synthesised and undergo post-translational modification, calcium ions are stored and released as dictated by cellular signaling, and lipids are biosynthesised.

  7. Dec 3, 2019 · A cell's endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contains a network of tubules and flattened sacs. The ER performs multiple functions in both plant and animal cells. Endoplasmic reticulum has two major regions: smooth endoplasmic reticulum and rough endoplasmic reticulum.
