|
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). |

|
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:0071944
|
cell periphery
|
The broad region around and including the plasma membrane of a cell, encompassing the cell cortex (inside the cell), the plasma membrane, and any external encapsulating structures. |
|
GO:0016020
|
membrane
|
A lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. |
|
GO:0005886
|
plasma membrane
|
The membrane surrounding a cell that separates the cell from its external environment. It consists of a phospholipid bilayer and associated proteins. |
|
GO:0098552
|
side of membrane
|
A cellular component consisting of one leaflet of a membrane bilayer and any proteins embedded or anchored in it or attached to its surface. |
|
GO:0009897
|
external side of plasma membrane
|
The leaflet of the plasma membrane that faces away from the cytoplasm and any proteins embedded or anchored in it or attached to its surface. |
|
GO:0009986
|
cell surface
|
The external part of the cell wall and/or plasma membrane. |
|
GO:0097478
|
leaflet of membrane bilayer
|
Any of the two layers of lipid molecules that constitute a membrane. |
