Term Information

Accession: GO:0042761
Name: very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: very-long-chain fatty acid anabolism, very-long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis, very-long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process, very-long-chain fatty acid formation, very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis
