|
cellular process
|
Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. |
GO:0051179
|
localization
|
Any process in which a cell, a substance, or a cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported, tethered to or otherwise maintained in a specific location. In the case of substances, localization may also be achieved via selective degradation. |
GO:0008150
|
biological_process
|
A biological process is the execution of a genetically-encoded biological module or program. It consists of all the steps required to achieve the specific biological objective of the module. A biological process is accomplished by a particular set of molecular functions carried out by specific gene products (or macromolecular complexes), often in a highly regulated manner and in a particular temporal sequence. |
GO:0051234
|
establishment of localization
|
Any process that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
GO:0006810
|
transport
|
The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) or cellular components (such as complexes and organelles) into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some agent such as a transporter or a transporter complex, a pore or a motor protein. |
GO:0005737
|
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:0007017
|
microtubule-based process
|
Any cellular process that depends upon or alters the microtubule cytoskeleton, that part of the cytoskeleton comprising microtubules and their associated proteins. |
GO:0051649
|
establishment of localization in cell
|
Any process, occurring in a cell, that localizes a substance or cellular component. This may occur via movement, tethering or selective degradation. |
GO:0051641
|
cellular localization
|
A cellular localization process whereby a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within a cell including the localization of substances or cellular entities to the cell membrane. |
GO:0046907
|
intracellular transport
|
The directed movement of substances within a cell. |
GO:0007018
|
microtubule-based movement
|
A microtubule-based process that results in the movement of organelles, other microtubules, or other cellular components. Examples include motor-driven movement along microtubules and movement driven by polymerization or depolymerization of microtubules. |
GO:0099111
|
microtubule-based transport
|
A microtubule-based process that results in the transport of organelles, other microtubules, or other cellular components. Examples include motor-driven movement along microtubules and movement driven by polymerization or depolymerization of microtubules. |
GO:0010970
|
transport along microtubule
|
The movement of organelles or other particles from one location in the cell to another along microtubules, driven by motor activity. |
GO:0030705
|
cytoskeleton-dependent intracellular transport
|
The directed movement of substances along cytoskeletal fibers such as microfilaments or microtubules within a cell. |
GO:0120025
|
plasma membrane bounded cell projection
|
A prolongation or process extending from a cell and that is bounded by plasma membrane, e.g. a cilium, lamellipodium, or axon. |
GO:0042995
|
cell projection
|
A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon. |
GO:0099568
|
cytoplasmic region
|
Any (proper) part of the cytoplasm of a single cell of sufficient size to still be considered cytoplasm. |
GO:0032838
|
plasma membrane bounded cell projection cytoplasm
|
All of the contents of a plasma membrane bounded cell projection, excluding the plasma membrane surrounding the projection. |
GO:0043005
|
neuron projection
|
A prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. |
GO:0008088
|
axo-dendritic transport
|
The directed movement of organelles or molecules along microtubules in neuron projections. |
GO:1904115
|
axon cytoplasm
|
Any cytoplasm that is part of a axon. |
GO:0098930
|

|
The directed movement of organelles or molecules along microtubules in axons. |
GO:0030424
|
axon
|
The long process of a neuron that conducts nerve impulses, usually away from the cell body to the terminals and varicosities, which are sites of storage and release of neurotransmitter. |
