subcellular
- adjective
- /ˌsʌbˈsɛl.jə.lər/
- Specialized
- Protein-protein interactions often are highly dynamic and may depend on subcellular localization, post-translational modifications, and the local protein environment.
- subcellular structure
- subcellular cells
Examples
-
Kinesin's role is to carry subcellular cargoes along microtubules.

Lysosomes are important subcellular structures involved in breaking down waste materials.
-
And what is inside the cell are a set of subcellular structures called organelles.

The reductionist approach has provided a comprehensive enumeration and description of these components, organized at different levels (organs, tissues, cells, subcellular structures, genes, and so on).
Academic text (2010) -
Most signaling pathways in eukaryotic cells show at least some degree of compartmentalization. Thus, for example, cAMP availability does not provide a single time window but a family of time windows defined by distinct subcellular locations, corresponding ON/OFF pathways, and downstream effects.

Etymology
Subcellular breaks into sub- meaning 'under' and cell, a small unit in living things. So subcellular means 'under' or inside a cell and describes structures or processes that happen within the cell.
