The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is, in essence, the transportation system of the eukaryotic cell, and has many other important functions such as protein folding. (wikipedia.org)
The endoplasmic reticulum is found in most eukaryotic cells and forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs known as cisternae (in the RER), and tubular structures in the SER. (wikipedia.org)
The functions of the endoplasmic reticulum can be summarized as the synthesis and export of proteins and membrane lipids, but varies between ER and cell type and cell function. (wikipedia.org)
The quantity of both rough and smooth endoplasmic reticulum in a cell can slowly interchange from one type to the other, depending on the changing metabolic activities of the cell. (wikipedia.org)
also called granular endoplasmic reticulum) is studded with protein-manufacturing ribosomes giving it a "rough" appearance (hence its name). (wikipedia.org)
The membrane of the rough endoplasmic reticulum is in the form of large double-membrane sheets that are located near, and continuous with, the outer layer of the nuclear envelope. (wikipedia.org)
Although there is no continuous membrane between the endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi apparatus, membrane-bound transport vesicles shuttle proteins between these two compartments. (wikipedia.org)
The rough endoplasmic reticulum works in concert with the Golgi complex to target new proteins to their proper destinations. (wikipedia.org)
The second method of transport out of the endoplasmic reticulum involves areas called membrane contact sites, where the membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum and other organelles are held closely together, allowing the transfer of lipids and other small molecules. (wikipedia.org)
The rough endoplasmic reticulum consists of flattened sacs and is where you will typically find ribosomes attached to its surface, thus, giving it a rough appearance under the microscope. (biologyonline.com)
The smooth endoplasmic reticulum , in turn, consists of tubules and vesicles and has a rather smooth appearance because ribosomes do not typically attach to its surface. (biologyonline.com)
Without the ribosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum is most likely involved in other cellular processes, e.g., synthesizing lipids, detoxifying or metabolizing drugs and toxins, or regulating calcium ions. (biologyonline.com)

OBJECTIVE: Thiol isomerases facilitate protein folding in the endoplasmic reticulum, and several of these enzymes, including protein disulfide isomerase and ERp57, are mobilized to the surface of activated platelets, where they influence platelet aggregation, blood coagulation, and thrombus formation. (reading.ac.uk)
Immunofluorescence microscopy and subcellular fractionation analysis were used to localize these proteins in platelets to a compartment distinct from known secretory vesicles that overlaps with an inner cell-surface membrane region defined by the endoplasmic/sarcoplasmic reticulum proteins calnexin and sarco/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 3. (reading.ac.uk)
CONCLUSIONS: Platelet-borne thiol isomerases are trafficked independently of secretory granule contents in megakaryocytes and become concentrated in a subcellular compartment near the inner surface of the platelet outer membrane corresponding to the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum of these cells.
