Ribophorin
Encyclopedia
Ribophorins are ribosome
receptor
proteins that aids in the binding of ribosomes to the rough endoplasmic reticulum
. It is an integral protein within the rough endoplasmic reticular membrane. As it is directly related with protein translation, ribophorins are not found in smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
Ribophorin Encoding Genes:
RPN1
, RPN2
Ribosome
A ribosome is a component of cells that assembles the twenty specific amino acid molecules to form the particular protein molecule determined by the nucleotide sequence of an RNA molecule....
