What Does the Golgi Apparatus Do? The Golgi apparatus functions as a molecular assembly line in which membrane proteins undergo extensive post-translational modification. Many Golgi reactions ...
PDAT enzymes use membrane phospholipids as direct fatty acid donors to generate triglycerides stored in lipid droplets. This ...
A protein's function directly depends on its folded ... in the sarcoplasmic reticulum — a specialized type of endoplasmic reticulum found in muscle cells. Since calcium is essential for muscle ...
The study was carried out as part of the “SCALE - Subcellular Architecture of Life" cluster initiative. The endoplasmic reticulum functions as a reservoir for calcium and carbohydrates and also serves ...
Researchers from Stanford University and LMU have uncovered how cells renew their endoplasmic reticulum’s protein factories.
Nearly one-third of all human proteins must be transported to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER ... which are vital for their structure and function. Disruptions in protein translocation to the ...
The Jokitalo group studies structure-function interplay of organelles in mammalian cells. Our main model organelle is the endoplasmic reticulum. We employ a wide range of basic biological techniques ...
