  • A eukaryotic cell has a true membrane-bound nucleus and has other membranous organelles that allow for compartmentalization of functions. (coursehero.com)
  • Communications are carried out by proteins - both the numerous proteins that are situated on the cells' outer membranes to receive the messages and the messengers themselves, which are secreted to the outside of the cell. (weizmann.ac.il)
  • For most of these proteins, getting to the outside of the cell involves passage through an organelle called the endoplasmic reticulum. (weizmann.ac.il)
  • How many different shuttles are needed to move all these proteins - in effect, around 30% of all the proteins in each cell? (weizmann.ac.il)
  • These are proteins that, if they are not efficiently transported to the endoplasmic reticulum, the cell dies. (weizmann.ac.il)
