General Information
Term cellular localization ID (Ontology) GO:0051641 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A cellular localization process whereby a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, is transported to, and/or maintained in, a specific location within a cell including the localization of substances or cellular entities to the cell membrane.
Also Known As "cellular localisation" ; "establishment and maintenance of cellular localization" ; "establishment and maintenance of localization in cell or cell membrane" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
