Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the options listed are functions of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER). The ER is involved in the modification of proteins (including glycosylation to form glycoproteins), protein folding, the assembly of multimeric proteins, and the identification and export of misfolded proteins for degradation, a process known as ER-associated degradation (ERAD).
