Accession
GO:0019626
Name
short-chain fatty acid catabolic process
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
short-chain fatty acid breakdown, short-chain fatty acid catabolism, short-chain fatty acid degradation
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a short-chain fatty acid. A short-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing fewer than 6 carbons. Source: ISBN:0198506732
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).
