Term: endoplasmic reticulum
Gramatical category: s
Definition: The endoplasmic reticulum is a network of flattened sacs and branching tubules that extends throughout the cytoplasm in plant and animal cells. It is a multifold membranous strucutre within eukaryotic cells which plays a major role inn the synthesis of the comples molecules required by the cell and the organism as a whole.
Context: Up-regulation of class I MHC in skeletal muscle fibers was an early and consistent feature of human inflammatory myopathies. [...]The pathways of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress response, [...] and the ER overload response (NF-kappaB pathway) were significantly activated in muscle tissue of human myositis patients [...] not degradable glycosylation mutants of H-2K(b) induced ER stress response in C(2)C(12) skeletal muscle cells.
Expression: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Notes: The sacs and tubules of the endoplasmic reticulum are all interconnected by a single continuous membrane so that the organelle has only one large, highly convoluted and complexly arranged lumen. The endoplasmic reticulum membrane allows molecules to be s
