Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum
Description:
The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is a network of membranous tubules and flattened sacs present in eukaryotic cells. It is characterized by its studded appearance due to the presence of ribosomes on its surface. The RER plays a vital role in protein synthesis and folding.
Sample Sentences:
- The rough endoplasmic reticulum is involved in the production of secretory proteins.
- Proteins synthesized on the rough endoplasmic reticulum undergo post-translational modifications.
- The ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum allow for the translation of mRNA into proteins within the cell.
- Disruption of the rough endoplasmic reticulum function can lead to alterations in protein secretion.
