General Information
Term molybdopterin cofactor metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0043545 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways involving the molybdopterin cofactor (Moco), essential for the catalytic activity of some enzymes, e.g. sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase, and aldehyde oxidase. The cofactor consists of a mononuclear molybdenum (Mo-molybdopterin) or tungsten ion (W-molybdopterin) coordinated by one or two molybdopterin ligands.
Also Known As"Moco metabolic process" ; "Moco metabolism" ; "molybdopterin cofactor metabolism"
