  Endoplasmic reticulum - Open Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
The endoplasmic reticulum or ER (endoplasmic means "within the cytoplasm", reticulum means "little net") is an organelle found in all eukaryotic cells.
The ER is the site of the translation and folding of and transport of proteins that are to become part of the cell membrane (e.g., transmembrane receptors and other integral membrane proteins) as well as proteins that are to be secreted or "exocytosed" from the cell (e.g., digestive enzymes).
The endoplasmic reticulum serves many general functions, including the facilitation of protein folding, and the transport of proteins.
