    The correct answer is: Endoplasmic reticulum.

    One of the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum is transport of secretory proteins. Synthesized proteins are transported in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus.

    Gastric chief cells have a high rate of enzyme secretion such as pepsinogen and gastric lipase. It is the cell also responsible for secretion of chymosin.
