General Information
Term cell division site ID (Ontology) GO:0032153 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The eventual plane of cell division (also known as cell cleavage or cytokinesis) in a dividing cell. In Eukaryotes, the cleavage apparatus, composed of septin structures and the actomyosin contractile ring, forms along this plane, and the mitotic, or meiotic, spindle is aligned perpendicular to the division plane. In bacteria, the cell division site is generally located at mid-cell and is the site at which the cytoskeletal structure, the Z-ring, assembles.[ PubMed:12101122 PubMed:15380095 PubMed:16983191 PubMed:18165305 ]
Also Known As "cell division plane"
