Difference between Endoplasmic reticulum and Membrane contact site

Endoplasmic reticulum vs. Membrane contact site

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a type of organelle found in eukaryotic cells that forms an interconnected network of flattened, membrane-enclosed sacs or tube-like structures known as cisternae. Membrane contact sites (MCS) are close appositions between two organelles.

Similarities between Endoplasmic reticulum and Membrane contact site

Endoplasmic reticulum and Membrane contact site have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alzheimer's disease, Cytosol, Electron microscope, Golgi apparatus, Integral membrane protein, Lipid, Lysosome, Mitochondrion, Muscle contraction, Myocyte, Organelle, Phospholipid, Protein, Secretion, Vesicle (biology and chemistry).

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time.

Organelle

In cell biology, an organelle is a specialized subunit within a cell that has a specific function, in which their function is vital for the cell to live.
