4 paź 2019 · The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) is a membranous organelle found in most eukaryotic cells. It is a subset of the endomembrane system of the endoplasmic reticulum.
9 maj 2023 · The smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum (SER) is a cell organelle found in all eukaryotic cells, including plants and animals. It is a mesh-like network of membranes whose basic function is to help produce and distribute cellular products like proteins, lipids, and other molecules throughout the cell.
20 wrz 2024 · The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (smooth ER) is a type of organelle found in both animal and plant cells. It is part of the larger endoplasmic reticulum network, which also includes the rough endoplasmic reticulum.
2 cze 2023 · Smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER) is part of or a region in the endoplasmic reticulum that is characterized by having a tube-like structure and generally lacking in ribosomes.
18 paź 2024 · The smooth ER is involved in the synthesis of lipids, including cholesterol and phospholipids, which are used in the production of new cellular membrane. In certain cell types, smooth ER plays an important role in the synthesis of steroid hormones from cholesterol.
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum, also called Smooth ER or SER, is a membrane-bound cell organelle which is present near the outer membrane of the nucleus. It is a meshwork of tube-like membrane-bound structure which is responsible for synthesis and storage of lipids.
Muscle cells, for example, have an abundant specialized smooth ER, called the sarcoplasmic reticulum, which sequesters Ca 2+ from the cytosol by means of a Ca 2+-ATPase that pumps in Ca 2+ into its lumen.
