Protein subcellular localization prediction involves the computational prediction of where a protein resides in a cell. Prediction of protein subcellular localization is an important component of bioinformatics-based prediction of protein function and genome annotation, and it can aid the identification of drug targets. Most eukaryotic proteins are encoded in the nuclear genome and synthesized in the cytosol, but many need to be further sorted before they reach their final destination. For prokaryotes, proteins are synthesized in the cytoplasm and some must be targeted to other locations such as to a cell membrane or the extracellular environment. Proteins must be localized at their appropriate subcellular compartment to perform their desired function. Experimentally determining the subcellular localization of a protein is a laborious and time consuming task.
