General Information
Term extracellular exosome ID (Ontology) GO:0070062 (Gene Ontology)
Definition A vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm.[ PubMed:15908444 PubMed:17641064 PubMed:19442504 PubMed:19498381 PubMed:22418571 PubMed:24009894 ]
