|
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: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: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: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:0098590
|
plasma membrane region
|
A membrane that is a (regional) part of the plasma membrane. |
|
GO:0098858
|
actin-based cell projection
|
A cell projection supported by an assembly of actin filaments, and which lacks microtubules. |
|
GO:0005902
|
microvillus
|
Thin cylindrical membrane-covered projections on the surface of an animal cell containing a core bundle of actin filaments. Present in especially large numbers on the absorptive surface of intestinal cells. |
|
GO:0031253
|
cell projection membrane
|
The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a plasma membrane bounded cell surface projection. |
|
GO:0031528
|
microvillus membrane
|
The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a microvillus. |
