GONUTS has been updated to MW1.31 Most things seem to be working but be sure to report problems.
Category:GO:0042761 ! very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process
name: very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process
namespace: biological_process
def: "The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a very long-chain fatty acid. A very long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing more than 22 carbons." [PMID:7744868]
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).
