General Information
Term lipid storage ID (Ontology) GO:0019915 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The accumulation and maintenance in cells or tissues of lipids, compounds soluble in organic solvents but insoluble or sparingly soluble in aqueous solvents. Lipid reserves can be accumulated during early developmental stages for mobilization and utilization at later stages of development.[ PubMed:11102830 ]
Also Known As "lipid retention" ; "retention of lipids" ; "sequestration of lipids" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
