title: Ferritin synthesis on polyribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum.
abstract: The evidence that ferritin is synthesized both on free polyribosomes and on polyribosomes attached to the endoplasmic reticulum is reviewed. Evidence that some ferritin is secreted from cells after synthesis on bound polyribosomes was found to be inconclusive.
