General Information
Term triglyceride metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0006641 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways involving triglyceride, any triester of glycerol. The three fatty acid residues may all be the same or differ in any permutation. Triglycerides are important components of plant oils, animal fats and animal plasma lipoproteins.[ ISBN:0198506732 ]
Also Known As"triacylglycerol metabolic process" ; "triacylglycerol metabolism" ; "triglyceride metabolism"
