Best Answer

The rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) is a network of flattened channels and tubular canals studded with ribosomes (that give its rough appearance).

This membranous network is made of lipids and proteins.

The RER is in charge of the modification of proteins (produced by the ribosomes on its surface) as well as the transport of them to targets in the cytoplasm for protein synthesis).

Protein is found in virtually every part of a eukaryotic cell.

Here are a few examples:

Nucleus: DNA is bound by histones, a 4 subunit protein. Nuclear pores are also proteins.

Endoplasmic Reticulum: Ribosomes are proteins.

Cytoplasm: The cytoskeleton that holds the shape of cells is made of protein filaments.

Mitochondria: ATPase and all of the cytochromes are proteins.

Plasma Membrane: Surface proteins help the body identify the kinds of cells.
