AmiGO 2: Term Details for "lipopolysaccharide metabolic process" (GO:0008653)

Accession: GO:0008653
Name: lipopolysaccharide metabolic process
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: LPS metabolic process, lipopolysaccharide metabolism
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways involving lipopolysaccharides, a group of related, structurally complex components of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria. Lipopolysaccharides consist three covalently linked regions, lipid A, core oligosaccharide, and an O side chain. Lipid A is responsible for the toxicity of the lipopolysaccharide.
