Which of the following is related to glycosylation of protein?
Options
- ALysosome
- BMitochondrium
- CPeroxisome
- DRough endoplasmic reticulum
Correct answer
D. Rough endoplasmic reticulum
Step-by-step solution
Glycosylation is bonding of sugar residue to another organic compound. Glycoproteins are formed in the lumen of rough endoplasmic reticulum, but may subsequently be modified in the lumen of the Golgi apparatus, where other amino acids of the protein may become glycosylated.
