The soluble components of the fluid matter enclosed within the cellular membrane; the portion of the cytoplasm which remains after removal of particulate components.
The main component of the cytoplasm. It is a grayish, gel-like liquid containing the nucleus, organelles, and cytoskeleton.
a fluid matrix of water and dissolved substances such as proteins and nutrients.
Unstructured aqueous phase of the cytoplasm excluding organelles, membranes, and insoluble cytoskeletal components.
This subcellular fraction represents the soluble fraction of liver homogenate, and contains numerous drug-metabolizing enzymes; especially those involved in Phase II biotransformation, such as sulfotransferases and glutathione S-transferases.
The liquid medium of the cytoplasm, that is, cytoplasm minus organelles and nonmembranous insoluble compounds.
The part of the cytoplasm external to the subcellular organelles.
Jelly-like substance within cells.
Contents of the main compartment of the cytoplasm, excluding membrane-bounded organelles such as endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria. Originally defined operationally as the cell fraction remaining after membranes, cytoskeletal components, and other organelles have been removed by low-speed centrifugation.
The semi-fluid component of a cell's cytoplasm.
the aqueous part of the cytoplasm within which various particles and organelles are suspended
Fluid contained within the cell, where several biochemical reactions (e.g., glycolysis) take place.
The 'fluid' portion of the cell, it is made up of water and many free proteins and other elements - all except the organelles.
(SI-to-sohl) The thickened fluid of the cytoplasm that lies outside the cellular organelle membranes.
The internal liquid/gel content of a cell that surrounds the sub-cellular organelles and contains many of the simple and complex molecules required for the cell to function. The cytosol is not uniform but varies throughout its extent and is organised by the internal skeleton of the cell.
jelly-like material that contains the organelles between the nucleus and the plasma membrane
The unstructured aqueous phase of the cytoplasm between the structured organelles.
The semi-soluble contents of the cytoplasm.
The cytosol (cf. cytoplasm, which also includes the organelles) is the internal fluid of the cell, and a portion of cell metabolism occurs here. Proteins within the cytosol play an important role in signal transduction pathways and glycolysis. They also act as intracellular receptors and form part of the ribosomes, enabling protein synthesis.
