👉 "Metabasite" is a term used in the context of bioinformatics and biophysics, referring to a biological structure or site within a cell that facilitates cellular communication. It can be thought of as a "bridge" between two neighboring cells, facilitating communication between the two. The specific function of metabasites varies depending on their location and how they are defined, but generally it is associated with signaling pathways and gene regulation in eukaryotic cells.
