Descriptions Names[Advanced Search]

A crystalline protein layer surrounding some bacteria. A glycoprotein-based structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the egg before fertilization. A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell. A structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the egg. The fertilization envelope forms from the vitelline membrane after fertilization as a result of cortical granule release. A viscous, carbohydrate rich layer at the outermost periphery of a cell. The matrix external to the cell, composed of the cell wall and middle lamella. Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. The rigid or semi-rigid envelope lying outside the cell membrane of plant, fungal, and most prokaryotic cells, maintaining their shape and protecting them from osmotic lysis. In plants it is made of cellulose and, often, lignin; in fungi it is composed largely of polysaccharides; in bacteria it is composed of peptidoglycan. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms. Includes the plasma membrane and any external encapsulating structures such as the cell wall and cell envelope. Any constituent part of an external encapsulating structure, a structure that lies outside the plasma membrane and surrounds the entire cell. A protective, noncellular membrane that surrounds the eggs of various animals including insects and fish. The part of a cell or its extracellular environment in which a gene product is located. A gene product may be located in one or more parts of a cell and its location may be as specific as a particular macromolecular complex, that is, a stable, persistent association of macromolecules that function together.
