General Information
Term phytosteroid biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0016129 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of phytosteroids, steroids that differ from animal steroids in having substitutions at C24 and/or a double bond at C22. Phytosteroids are so named because they occur in higher plants; some, notably ergosterol, are also found in fungi.[ ISBN:0471331309 ]
Also Known As "phytosteroid anabolism" ; "phytosteroid biosynthesis" ; "phytosteroid formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
