Functions of Endoplasmic Reticulum:
the endoplasmic reticulum is categorised into two types, and both these types of ER performs specific functions:
Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum Function:
- Smooth ER is responsible for the synthesis of essential lipids such as phospholipids and cholesterol.
- Smooth ER is also responsible for the production and secretion of steroid hormones.
- It is also responsible for the metabolism of carbohydrates.
- The smooth ER store and release calcium ions. These are quite important for the nervous system and muscular system.
Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum Function:
- The majority of the functions of rough ER plays is associated with protein synthesis.
- Rough endoplasmic reticulum also plays a vital role in protein folding.
- Also ensures quality control (regarding correct protein folding).
- The second most important function after protein synthesis and protein folding is protein sorting.
