Description
The Endoplasmic Reticulum (ER) is an organelle that aids in the production and distribution of proteins in eukaryotic cells. Proteins pass through the ER’s constantly changing network of tubes and sheets on their way to other parts of the cell. The ER is the largest organelle in the cell and has a complicated structure composed of an interconnected network of tubes and sheets. Determining ER shape and the path that cargo takes while passing through it are important steps to understanding how the shape of the ER impacts its function
