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. |

somatodendritic compartment
|
The region of a neuron that includes the cell body (cell soma) and dendrite(s), but excludes the axon. |
|
GO:0043025
|
neuronal cell body
|
The portion of a neuron that includes the nucleus, but excludes cell projections such as axons and dendrites. |
|
GO:0044297
|
cell body
|
The portion of a cell bearing surface projections such as axons, dendrites, cilia, or flagella that includes the nucleus, but excludes all cell projections. |

|
perikaryon
|
The portion of the cell soma (neuronal cell body) that excludes the nucleus. |
