Question

what is the function of Smooth RE due to that they don't have any ribosomes sticked??could someone answering?thanks a lot..

Answer 1

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesize lipids and steroids, metabolize carbohydrates and steroids and does a bunch of other stuff. Though the main part is the lipids :)

Answer 2

The smooth endoplasmic reticulum (ER) has functions in several metabolic processes, including synthesis of lipids (primary function), metabolism of carbohydrates and calcium concentration, drug detoxification, and attachment of receptors on cell membrane proteins. It is connected to the nuclear envelope. Smooth endoplasmic reticulum is found in a variety of cell types (both animal and plant) and it serves different functions in each. The Smooth ER also contains the enzyme Glucose-6-phosphatase which converts glucose-6-phosphate to glucose, a step in gluconeogenesis. Smooth ER consists of tubules and vesicles that branch forming a network. In some cells there are dilated areas like the sacs of rough endoplasmic reticulum. The network of smooth endoplasmic reticulum allows increased surface area for the action or storage of key enzymes and the products of these enzymes. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is known for its storage of calcium irons in muscle cells.
