👉 The term "ectosomal" refers to a specific type of cell that is found in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and is involved in the degradation of proteins. This process occurs at the end of the cell cycle, where the protein synthesis stops and the DNA replication begins. In the ER, ectosomes are specialized compartments for the storage of proteins and other cellular components. They are located within the ER's lamellae, which are flattened structures that are surrounded by a membrane
