Any constituent part of the endoplasmic reticulum, the irregular network of unit membranes, visible only by electron microscopy, that occurs in the cytoplasm of many eukaryotic cells. The membranes form a complex meshwork of tubular channels, which are often expanded into slitlike cavities called cisternae. Any constituent part of the cytoplasm, all of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. An elaborate tubulolamellar membrane system that underlies the postsynaptic cell membrane. The irregular network of unit membranes, visible only by electron microscopy, that occurs in the cytoplasm of many eukaryotic cells. The membranes form a complex meshwork of tubular channels, which are often expanded into slitlike cavities called cisternae. The ER takes two forms, rough (or granular), with ribosomes adhering to the outer surface, and smooth (with no ribosomes attached). The continuous network of membranes encompassing the outer nuclear membrane and the endoplasmic reticulum. The lipid bilayer surrounding an organelle. Loosely bound to one surface of an organelle membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. A constituent part of an intracellular organelle, an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, occurring within the cell. Includes constituent parts of the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton but excludes the plasma membrane. The lipid bilayer surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum. Any constituent part of a membrane, a double layer of lipid molecules that encloses all cells, and, in eukaryotes, many organelles; may be a single or double lipid bilayer; also includes associated proteins. Loosely bound to one surface of the endoplasmic reticulum membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region. Loosely bound to one surface of a membrane, but not integrated into the hydrophobic region.
