First of all, the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is only found in eukaryotic cells. The domain prokaryota and archea do not have an ER. The ER consists of vescicles, cisternae and tubules found within the cell. The ER has many functions:

* It is essential in protein translation

* encapsulation and transport of the protein to its final destination (usually the cell membrane) * isolation of calcium * and storage of several macromolecules Also note that by convention, cell biologists describe the ER as being continuous with the cell membrane, and so the ER plays a fundamental part in endocytosis and exocytosis.
