• 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 involved in protein production, processing, and transport. (medlineplus.gov)
  • CPEB-2 is an RNA-binding protein that is abundantly expressed in testis and localized in cytoplasm in transfected HeLa cells. (nih.gov)
  • A) Clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs), circular vesicles with a fringe of clathrin protein (arrow), in the cell cytoplasm range in size from 60 nm−100 nm. (cdc.gov)
  • In higher plants, the microsomal oleate Δ12 -desaturase (fatty acid desaturase 2, FAD2) is a hydrophobic endoplasmic reticulum protein, catalyzing the reaction from monounsaturated oleic acid (C18:1) to polyunsaturated linoleic acid (C18:2) by introducing a double bond between the 12th and 13th carbon atoms of C18:1 [1].

  • A vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted sacks that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). (enchantedlearning.com)
  • The action potential spreads along the membrane and down tubules that extend into the cytoplasm, causing the myofibrils to contract. (pearson.com)
  • The phagophore encloses small portions of the cytoplasm to form a double-membrane structure called an autophagosome. (hindawi.com)
  • Cytoplasm is a semi-transparent fluid that fills most cells. (protopage.com)
  • After the degradation of damaged proteins and lipids, amino acids and fatty acids are released into the cytoplasm and recycled for new biosynthesis of cellular components or energy production [ 4 ]. (hindawi.com)
  • HAV replicates exclusively in the cytoplasm of the infected hepatocytes by a mechanism involving an RNA-dependent RNA polymerase. (medscape.com)
  • Computational studies were enrolled to predict the interaction of the synthesized compound with sarco-endoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca 2+ transport ATPase (SERCA), a target of relevance for developing new therapeutics against arthritis. (mdpi.com)
  • This study was undertaken to investigate whether Res can protect the heart suffering from hypertrophy injuries induced by isoproterenol (ISO), and whether the protective effect is mediated by endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. (karger.com)
  • Antibodies engineered for intracellular function must not only have affinity for their target antigen, but must also be soluble and correctly folded in the cytoplasm. (jove.com)
