Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Albumin is a secretory protein and thus synthesized on membrane-bound polysomes, which are associated with the endoplasmic reticulum. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum is not involved in protein synthesis and mitochondria are not typically associated with protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. Free polysomes are involved in protein synthesis, but albumin is not synthesized on these structures as it requires the machinery necessary for protein secretion.
