General Information
Term 4-aminobenzoate biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0008153 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of 4-aminobenzoate, an intermediate in the synthesis of folic acid, a compound which some organisms, e.g. prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes, and plants, can synthesize de novo. Others, notably mammals, cannot. In yeast, it is present as a factor in the B complex of vitamins.[ ISBN:0198506732 PubMed:11377864 PubMed:11960743 ]
Also Known As "4-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis" ; "4-aminobenzoic acid biosynthetic process" ; "p-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
