Definition
OBSOLETE. Used as a holding place for cellular components whose precise localization is, as yet, unknown, or has not been determined by GO (the latter is the major reason for nodes to have this parent); this term should not be used for annotation of gene products. Source: GOC:ma
Comment
This term was made obsolete because it was originally intended only as a temporary parent for protein complex terms for which no more specific parents had been found. This term no longer has any children: All protein complex terms are is_a 'protein complex ; GO:0043234' and nearly all have been placed under parents to yield more specific paths traversing a part_of relationship. In other words, the term has been superseded by other terms and relationships in the cellular component ontology, and is no longer needed.
