Endoplasmic reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum or ER is an
organelle
found in all
eukaryotic cells
that is an interconnected network of
tubules
,
vesicles
and
cisternae
that is responsible for several specialized functions:
Protein translation
, folding, and transport of proteins to be used in the
cell membrane
(e.g.,
transmembrane receptors
and other
integral membrane proteins
), or to be secreted (
exocytosed
) from the cell (e.g., digestive
enzymes
); sequestration of
calcium
; and production and storage of
glycogen
,
steroids
, and other
macromolecules
. The endoplasmic reticulum is part of the
endomembrane system
. The basic structure and composition of the ER membrane is similar to the
plasma membrane
.
