user-description |
Endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is an eukaryotic organelle primarily composed of tubules, vesicles, and cisternae which form its thread-like membranous labyrinth. There are two types of ER: RER (Rough endoplasmic reticulum, bearing ribosomes on their surface) and SER(Smooth Endoplasmic reticulum, lacking ribosomes on their surface). An ER serves as a region of synthesis and transition from one part of cell to another for many cellular molecules like protein, glycoprotein, lipids etc. ER has a bilayered membrane which is continuous with the nuclear membrane |
