Smooth ERSmooth ER

Buds off the Rough ER and moves the Buds off the Rough ER and moves the newly made protein to the golgi apparatus. newly made protein to the golgi apparatus.

a vast system of interconnected, membranous, infolded and convoluted tubes that are located in the cell's cytoplasm (the ER is continuous with the outer nuclear membrane). The space within the ER is called the ER lumen. Smooth ER transports materials through the cell. It contains enzymes and produces and digests lipids (fats) and membrane proteins; smooth ER buds off from rough ER, moving the newly-made proteins and lipids to the Golgi body and membranes
