GO:0044539
Name
long-chain fatty acid import into cell
Ontology

Synonyms
long-chain fatty acid uptake, long-chain fatty acid import
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The directed movement of a long-chain fatty acid from outside of a cell into a cell. This may occur via transport across the plasma membrane or via endocytosis. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons. Source: GOC:pm, GOC:jl, PMID:22022213
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).
