Biology:Vectorial synthesis

From HandWiki
Short description: Type of synthesis of exported proteins

Vectorial synthesis is synthesis of exported proteins by ribosomes in which the ribosome-nascent chain complex is bound directly to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the nascent peptide chain moves through the ER membrane as it emerges from the ribosome.[1]
