General Information
Term lignan catabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0046273 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of lignans, any member of a class of plant metabolites related to lignins. Lignans are usually found as phenylpropanoid dimers in which the phenylpropanoid units are linked tail to tail and thus having a 2,3 dibenzylbutane skeleton, but higher oligomers can also exist.[ PubMed:10074466 ]
Also Known As "lignan breakdown" ; "lignan catabolism" ; "lignan degradation"
