AmiGO 2: Term Details for "short-chain fatty acid transport" (GO:0015912)

Accession: GO:0015912
Name: short-chain fatty acid transport
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: None
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The directed movement of short-chain fatty acids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. A short-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing fewer than 6 carbons. Source: GOC:ai
Comment: While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283).
