Term Name:	protein targeting to ER		Search Ontology:
Synonyms:	protein targeting to endoplasmic reticulum protein-endoplasmic reticulum targeting protein-ER targeting
Definition:	The process of directing proteins towards the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) using signals contained within the protein. One common mechanism uses a 16- to 30-residue signal sequence, typically located at the N-terminus of the protein and containing positively charged amino acids followed by a continuous stretch of hydrophobic residues, which directs the ribosome to the ER membrane and initiates transport of the growing polypeptide across the ER membrane. 0716731363
