General Information
Term fatty acid transport ID (Ontology) GO:0015908 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The directed movement of fatty acids into, out of or within a cell, or between cells, by means of some agent such as a transporter or pore. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis.
