| Exact synonym | cortical ER |
| Description | A cortical network of highly dynamic tubules that are juxtaposed to the plasma membrane and undergo ring closure and tubule-branching movements. |
| Related synonym | peripheral ER, peripheral endoplasmic reticulum |
| Comment | The dynamic nature of the cortical ER and the movements it undergoes (branching and ring closure) has been shown in both yeast and mammalian cells, so appears highly conserved. (PMID:10931860) |
