Endoplasmic reticulum


The endoplasmic reticulum is the site where the cell manufactures
most of the membranes of the cell (plasma membrane, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes);
lipids (including lipids for membranes, e.g., of the mitochondria, that are not made by the ER); ...

Endoplasmic Reticulum
The endoplasmic reticulum is a membranous network that extends throughout the cell.
It is continuous with the nuclear envelope and the plasma membrane.

After removal of the 24-amino-acid signal peptide from preproinsulin to form proinsulin, the latter polypeptide is further processed in the endoplasmic reticulum. This produces the final hormone, insulin, which is released from the cell.
