Microfilaments or other elements of the cytoskeleton may be bonded to membrane proteins, a function that helps maintain cell shape and stabilizes the location of certain membrane proteins.

                    • Rough ER is especially abundant in cells that secrete proteins. As a polypeptide is synthesized on a ribosome attached to rough ER, it is threaded into the

                    Most secretory polypeptides are glycoproteins, proteins to which a carbohydrate is attached.

                    Enzymes in the rough ER also synthesize phospholipids from precursors in the cytosol. Rough ER is also a membrane factory. Membrane-bound proteins are synthesized directly into the membrane. Secretory proteins are packaged in transport vesicles that carry them to their next stage. components of the endomembrane system. As the ER membrane expands, membrane can be transferred as transport vesicles to other

                    • Smooth ER stores calcium ions. Muscle cells have a specialized smooth ER that pumps calcium ions from the cytosol and stores them in its cisternal space.

                      55 Smooth ER The smooth ER is rich in enzymes and plays a role in a variety of metabolic processes. Enzymes of smooth ER synthesize lipids, including oils, phospholipids, and steroids.

                       When a nerve impulse stimulates a muscle cell, calcium ions rush from the ER into the cytosol, triggering contraction.
