| 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: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: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:0031252 | cell leading edge | The area of a motile cell closest to the direction of movement. |
| GO:0043005 | neuron projection | A prolongation or process extending from a nerve cell, e.g. an axon or dendrite. |
| GO:0032421 | stereocilium bundle | A bundle of cross-linked stereocilia, arranged around a kinocilium on the apical surface of a sensory hair cell (e.g. a neuromast, auditory or vestibular hair cell). Stereocilium bundles act as mechanosensory organelles by responding to fluid motion or fluid pressure changes. |
| GO:0098862 | cluster of actin-based cell projections | A cell part consisting of multiple, closely packed actin-based cell projections. |
| GO:0098858 | actin-based cell projection | A cell projection supported by an assembly of actin filaments, and which lacks microtubules. |
| GO:0031253 | cell projection membrane | The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a plasma membrane bounded cell surface projection. |
| GO:0032589 | neuron projection membrane | The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a neuron projection. |
| GO:0031256 | leading edge membrane | The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding the leading edge of a motile cell. |
| GO:0032420 | stereocilium | An actin-based protrusion from the apical surface of auditory and vestibular hair cells and of neuromast cells. These protrusions are supported by a bundle of cross-linked actin filaments (an actin cable), oriented such that the plus (barbed) ends are at the tip of the protrusion, capped by a tip complex which bridges to the plasma. Bundles of stereocilia act as mechanosensory organelles. |
| GO:0060171 | stereocilium membrane | The portion of the plasma membrane surrounding a stereocilium. |
