... carbohydrates take place and even the protein folding is done in ER by enzyme such as protein disulfide isomerase and carbohydrates are added by dolichol carrier. Is trafficking is done by means of trans & cis golgi complex by means of vesicles which carry the proteins to the targeted sites ...
