General Information
Term localization ID (Ontology) GO:0051179 (Gene Ontology)
Definition Any process in which a cell, a substance, or a cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported, tethered to or otherwise maintained in a specific location. In the case of substances, localization may also be achieved via selective degradation.
Also Known As "establishment and maintenance of localization" ; "establishment and maintenance of position" ; "localisation"
