reticulum

• These two proteins reside in the endoplasmic reticulum, which is a major site of protein synthesis.
• Without the "chaperones" to help fold and block proteins, the brain cells of obese mice show increased stress in the endoplasmic reticulum -- a structure within the cell where proteins are assembled, folded into their appropriate configurations, and dispatched to do jobs for the cell. —  Latest News - UPI.com
• Assembly of the gamma-secretase complex occurs within the endoplasmic reticulum, and only fully assembled and functional gamma-secretase complexes are transported to the plasma membrane. —  CiteULike: Everyone's library
• This process, called endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation, ensures that defective proteins do not accumulate in the endoplasmic reticulum and kill the cell by disrupting the vital process of protein folding.
• These cells depend on endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation to dispose of unwanted proteins before they clog up the endoplasmic reticulum and eventually kill the cells.
