The main sub cellular features of a protein secreting cell.


o   A protein secreting cell is metabolically very active
o   It receives signals via G protein coupled receptors.
o   It has a prominent nucleus which takes a large space of the cell. (Transcription, translation occurs in it.)
o   RER supports in synthesis of protein. So it is prominent in the cell. (RER has ribosome on its surface which involve in polypeptide synthesis using amino acids)
o   More mRNA, tRNA & rRNA make cytoplasm basophilic.
o   From RER synthesized polypeptides sent to Golgi apparatus for further modifications via vesicles. So large number of vesicles can be seen.
o   Well developed Golgi apparatus can be seen for post translational modifications of synthesized polypeptides.
o After that finished proteins exit from the cells by a secretory vesicles made out of Golgi apparatus, so large number of secretory vesicles can be seen.
