Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Proteins that contain covalently attached sugar residues, also known as glycoproteins, are translated on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in eukaryotic cells. The ER is responsible for protein folding, modification, and trafficking. Glycosylation, the process of attaching sugar residues to a protein, occurs in the ER and is important for protein stability, proper folding, and recognition by other cellular components.
