| 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: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:0031012 | extracellular matrix | A structure lying external to one or more cells, which provides structural support, biochemical or biomechanical cues for cells or tissues. |
| GO:0030312 | external encapsulating structure | A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell or cells. This does not include the periplasmic space. |
| GO:0140047 | specialized extracellular matrix | Species or cell-type specific extracellular matrices that are different from the two main types of extracellular matrices: the interstitial ECM and the basement membrane ECM in metazoa. |
| GO:0062039 | biofilm matrix | A type of extracellular matrix that surrounds the cells within a microbial biofilm. The matrix is composed of extracellular polymeric substances including exopolysaccharides, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, and other biomolecules. |
| GO:0062040 | fungal biofilm matrix | An extracellular matrix lying external to fungal cells. The fungal biofilm matrix consists of polysaccharides, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids. Fungal biofilms mediate adherence to host tissues, and provide protection from host immune defenses. |
