|---|---|---|---|
| Term | saponin biosynthetic process | ID (Ontology) | GO:0016135 (Gene Ontology) |
| Definition | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of saponins, glycosides of plants in which the aglycan (sapogenin) group is a terpene or steroid and the sugar group is a glucose, a galactose, a pentose, a methylpentose or an oligosaccharide. Saponins are powerful surfactant agents and membrane active; they are, hence, toxic to animals on injection. | ||
| Also Known As | "saponin anabolism" ; "saponin biosynthesis" ; "saponin formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below) | ||
