General Information
Term epothilone biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0050814 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of epothilone, a drug obtained from the myxobacteria Sporangium cellulosum that interferes with cell division. Some epothilones are being studied as treatments for cancer.
Also Known As "epothilone anabolism" ; "epothilone biosynthesis" ; "epothilone formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
