The transit_peptide is a short region at the N-terminus of the peptide that directs the protein to an organelle (chloroplast, mitochondrion, microbody or cyanelle).
Added to bring SO inline with the EMBL, DDBJ, GenBank feature table. Old definition before biosapiens: The coding sequence for an N-terminal domain of a nuclear-encoded organellar protein. This domain is involved in post translational import of the protein into the organelle.
