General Information
Term lipid A biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0009245 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of lipid A, the glycolipid group of bacterial lipopolysaccharides, consisting of four to six fatty acyl chains linked to two glucosamine residues. Further modifications of the backbone are common.[ ISBN:0198506732 PubMed:20974832 PubMed:22216004 ]
Also Known As "lipid A anabolism" ; "lipid A biosynthesis" ; "lipid A formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
