General Information
Term polyketide biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0030639 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of polyketides, any of a diverse group of natural products synthesized via linear poly-beta-ketones, which are themselves formed by repetitive head-to-tail addition of acetyl (or substituted acetyl) units indirectly derived from acetate (or a substituted acetate) by a mechanism similar to that for fatty acid biosynthesis but without the intermediate reductive steps.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As "polyketide anabolism" ; "polyketide biosynthesis" ; "polyketide formation" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
