Secretory proteins

Secretory protein

(Science: protein) In eukaryotes, proteins synthesised on [[rough Endoplasmic reticulum]] and destined for export. Nearly all proteins secreted from cells are glycosylated (in the golgi apparatus, although there are exceptions (albumin). In prokaryotes, secreted proteins may be synthesised on ribosomes associated with the plasma membrane or exported post translation.

Explain protein transport plz

... to the ER. Ribosomes are what takes the mRNA and translates it into proteins/enzymes. If the protein is bound for the outside (extracellular) ... made protein/enzyme will bud off from the ER's membrane forming its own secretory membrane around it to keep it from being exposed to the cytoplasm. ...

Biological Functions of...

Just wanted to add that proteins incorporate many sugars for signaling purposes: either glycoproteins or proteoglycans. For example: Secretory vesicles in the Golgi cisterna use mostly mannose, galactose, and NAG (N-Acetlyglucosamine) to ...

Questions about Cell Biology. Thanks in advance

... 4. Where are the embryonic stem cells derived from? 5. Where may the proteins synthesized on cytosolic polyribosomes be transported to? (I only know that the lysosomal/membrane/secretory proteins are synthesized by the ribosomes on RER) 6. Do ribophorins form ...
