GO Term : GO:0032426 stereocilium tip GO

Namespace:  cellular_component Obsolete:  false
description  A distinct compartment at the tip of a stereocillium, distal to the site of attachment to the apical cell surface. It consists of a dense matrix bridging the barbed ends of the stereocillium actin filaments with the overlying plasma membrane.

Identifier Name Description
GO:0044464 cell part Any constituent part of a cell, the basic structural and functional unit of all organisms.
GO:0005575 cellular_component 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.
GO:0005623 cell 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.
GO:0043226 organelle Organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton, and prokaryotic structures such as anammoxosomes and pirellulosomes. Excludes the plasma membrane.
GO:0044422 organelle part Any constituent part of an organelle, an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function. Includes constituent parts of the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton, but excludes the plasma membrane.
GO:0044463 cell projection part Any constituent part of a cell projection, a prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon.
GO:0042995 cell projection A prolongation or process extending from a cell, e.g. a flagellum or axon.
GO:0097458 neuron part Any constituent part of a neuron, the basic cellular unit of nervous tissue. A typical neuron consists of a cell body (often called the soma), an axon, and dendrites. Their purpose is to receive, conduct, and transmit impulses in the nervous system.
GO:0032421 stereocilium bundle A bundle of cross-linked stereocilia, arranged around a kinocilium on the apical surface of a sensory hair cell (e.g. a neuromast, auditory or vestibular hair cell). Stereocilium bundles act as mechanosensory organelles by responding to fluid motion or fluid pressure changes.
GO:0098862 cluster of actin-based cell projections A cell part consisting of multiple, closely packed actin-based cell projections.
GO:0098858 actin-based cell projection A cell projection supported by an assembly of actin filaments, and which lacks microtubules.
GO:0032420 stereocilium An actin-based protrusion from the apical surface of auditory and vestibular hair cells and of neuromast cells. These protrusions are supported by a bundle of cross-linked actin filaments (an actin cable), oriented such that the plus (barbed) ends are at the tip of the protrusion, capped by a tip complex which bridges to the plasma. Bundles of stereocilia act as mechanosensory organelles.
GO:0032426 stereocilium tip A distinct compartment at the tip of a stereocillium, distal to the site of attachment to the apical cell surface. It consists of a dense matrix bridging the barbed ends of the stereocillium actin filaments with the overlying plasma membrane.
