The peripheral endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms a continuous, dynamic network of tubules that plays an important role in protein transport and quality control, cellular signaling, and stress response.

Calcium (Ca 2+) drives many cellular functions, though the way it controls quality of proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), a cellular organelle that synthesizes and transports proteins, has not ...

DJ-1 is a protein with wide subcellular distribution and pleiotropic functions. The loss-of-function mutations of DJ-1 are associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease yet the ...

Inside cells, there exists an extensive system of canals known as the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which consists of membrane-encased tubes that are partially broken down as needed -- for instance in ...

The endoplasmic reticulum is usually the biggest organelle in eukaryotic cells; it has various portions that serve different purposes; and it is the site of protein production, as well other other ...

New research led by Prof Edward Avezov (UK DRI at Cambridge) reveals how the architecture of the cell’s transport network, the endoplasmic reticulum, can go awry and lead to problems with signalling ...

What is the endoplasmic reticulum? The endoplasmic reticulum is the single largest membrane-bound organelle found inside eukaryotic cells. Its complex structure containing tubules, sheets, and ...
