Protein synthesis occurs primarily in two locations within the cell: the ribosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Ribosomes, either free-floating in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough ER, translate messenger RNA (mRNA) into polypeptide chains. The rough ER further processes and folds these chains into functional proteins. Additionally, the Golgi apparatus modifies, sorts, and packages proteins for delivery to their final destinations.
