Which of the following is true regarding the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)? Group of answer choices It stores the second messenger, cAMP It is like the RER, it just has half the number of ribosomes associated with the cytosolic side of the membrane (it is less "rough") It is most prominent in cells that are actively secreting proteins It contains enzymes that detoxify organic compounds; it is prominent in liver cell
Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
