| Name: | exocrine pancreas |

| Name: | rough endoplasmic reticulum |
|---|---|
| Synonyms: | RER, rough ER |
| Definition: | The rough (or granular) endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has ribosomes adhering to the outer surface; the ribosomes are the site of translation of the mRNA for those proteins which are either to be retained within the cisternae (ER-resident proteins), the proteins of the lysosomes, or the proteins destined for export from the cell. Glycoproteins undergo their initial glycosylation within the cisternae. |
