D
Proteins destined for secretion contain a signal sequence at the N-terminal end that causes the ribosomes on which they are being synthesized to bind to the SRP, which transfers the mRNA-ribosome complex to the RER. As they are being produced, they enter the cisternae of the RER, where the signal sequence, including th...
