General Information
Term xenobiotic catabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0042178 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a xenobiotic compound, a compound foreign to the organism exposed to it, carried out by individual cells. It may be synthesized by another organism (like ampicilin) or it can be a synthetic chemical.
Also Known As "xenobiotic breakdown" ; "xenobiotic catabolism" ; "xenobiotic degradation"
