|
cytoplasm
|
The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
|
GO:0005575
|
cellular_component
|
A location, relative to cellular compartments and structures, occupied by a macromolecular machine. There are three types of cellular components described in the gene ontology: (1) the cellular anatomical entity where a gene product carries out a molecular function (e.g., plasma membrane, cytoskeleton) or membrane-enclosed compartments (e.g., mitochondrion); (2) virion components, where viral proteins act, and (3) the stable macromolecular complexes of which gene product are parts (e.g., the clathrin complex). |
|
GO:0005622
|
intracellular anatomical structure
|
A component of a cell contained within (but not including) the plasma membrane. In eukaryotes it includes the nucleus and cytoplasm. |
|
GO:0110165
|
cellular anatomical structure
|
A part of a cellular organism consisting of a material entity with granularity above the level of a protein complex but below that of an anatomical system. Note that cellular organisms exclude viruses. |
|
GO:0043227
|
membrane-bounded organelle
|
Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane. |
|
GO:0043226
|
organelle
|
Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton, and prokaryotic structures such as anammoxosomes and pirellulosomes. Excludes the plasma membrane. |
|
GO:0043229
|
intracellular organelle
|
Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton. Excludes the plasma membrane. |
|
GO:0043231
|
intracellular membrane-bounded organelle
|
Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane and occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane. |
|
GO:0016020
|
membrane
|
A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. |
|
GO:0031410
|
cytoplasmic vesicle
|
A vesicle found in the cytoplasm of a cell. |
|
GO:0097708
|
intracellular vesicle
|
Any vesicle that is part of the intracellular region. |
|
GO:0031982
|
vesicle
|
Any small, fluid-filled, spherical organelle enclosed by membrane. |
|
GO:0099503
|
secretory vesicle
|
A cytoplasmic, membrane bound vesicle that is capable of fusing to the plasma membrane to release its contents into the extracellular space. |
