- It plays a major role in the production, processing, and transport of proteins and lipids. The ER produces transmembrane proteins and lipids for its membrane and many other cell components including lysosomes, secretory vesicles, the Golgi appatatus, the cell membrane, and plant cell vacuoles.

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. Rough ER contains attached ribosomes while smooth ER does not.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a complex system of membranes, tubules, cisternae and vesicles, appearing in two types: smooth and rough ER. Smooth ER is comprised of interconnected vesicles and cisternae that do not contain ribosomes. Smooth ER is involved in sterol biosynthesis, detoxification reactions and fatty acid desaturation.

Functions. The endoplasmic reticulum serves many general functions, including the folding of protein molecules in sacs called cisternae and the transport of synthesized proteins in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus. Rough endoplasmic reticulum is also involved in protein synthesis.
