Accession
GO:0015913
Name
short-chain fatty acid transmembrane transport
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
short-chain fatty acid uptake, short-chain fatty acid import
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The directed movement of short-chain fatty acids into a cell or organelle. 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).
