The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is used for storage. It creates and stores steroids. It also stores ions for later use. It also is involved in the synthesis of lipids(fats). The lipids are one of the components of the cell membrane. It also controls the movement of newly synthesized proteins through budding. It is a system of tubules and vesicles. In liver cells the SER is involved in breaking down lipid-soluble toxins. In the muscle cells the smooth endoplasmic reticulum controls calcium release.

What is the components of endoplamic reticulum?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) consists of two types: rough ER, which is studded with ribosomes and is involved in protein synthesis and processing, and smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism and detoxification of drugs. Both types are interconnected membrane structures found throughout the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells.
