What is the Role of Endoplasmic Reticulum in Catalysis?
The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is involved in the synthesis and folding of proteins, including many enzymes. The rough ER, studded with ribosomes, is the site of protein synthesis, whereas the smooth ER is involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism. Enzymes within these membranes catalyze various reactions essential for the maturation and transport of proteins and lipids.
