Two letter prefixes that identify the sub-cellular localization of metabolites
| Prefix | Cellular Compartment |
|---|---|
| CY | Cytosol |
| CS | Chloroplast stroma |
| GL | Golgi lumen |
| ER | ER |
| VC | Vacuole |
| NC | Nucleus |
| MT | Mitochondrion |
This lexicon of prefixes can be easily extended to include other cellular compartments. For example, we would use the three-letter prefix ERL to pinpoint localization to the ER lumen.
