Category:GO:0010747 ! positive regulation of long-chain fatty acid import across plasma membrane

name: positive regulation of long-chain fatty acid import across plasma membrane
namespace: biological_process
def: "Any process that increases the rate, frequency or extent of plasma membrane long-chain fatty acid transport. Plasma membrane long-chain fatty acid transport is the directed movement of long-chain fatty acids across the plasma membrane. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons." [GOC:BHF, GOC:dph, GOC:tb]
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).
