General Information
Term protein depolymerization ID (Ontology) GO:0051261 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The process in which protein polymers, compounds composed of a large number of component monomers, are broken down. Depolymerization occurs by the successive removal of monomers from an existing poly- or oligomeric protein.
Also Known As "protein polymer breakdown" ; "protein polymer catabolic process" ; "protein polymer catabolism" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
