The rough endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes glycoproteins and phospholipids that are transferred into cellular organelles, inserted into the plasma membrane or secreted during exocytosis. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum synthesizes fatty acids and steroids, detoxifies harmful substances, removes phosphate groups from glucose-6-phosphate and stores and releases calcium ions that trigger contractions in muscle fibers.
