General Information
Term	L-ascorbic acid catabolic process	ID (Ontology)	GO:0019854 (Gene Ontology)
Definition	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of L-ascorbic acid; L-ascorbic acid ionizes to give L-ascorbate, (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-olate, which is required as a cofactor in the oxidation of prolyl residues to hydroxyprolyl, and other reactions.
Also Known As	"ascorbate catabolic process" ; "ascorbate catabolism" ; "L-ascorbic acid breakdown" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
