General Information

Term

protein complex oligomerization

ID (Ontology)

GO:0051259 (Gene Ontology)

Definition

The process of creating protein oligomers, compounds composed of a small number, usually between three and ten, of component monomers; protein oligomers may be composed of different or identical monomers. Oligomers may be formed by the polymerization of a number of monomers or the depolymerization of a large protein polymer.[ PubMed:18293929 ]

Also Known As

"protein oligomer assembly" ; "protein oligomer formation" ; "protein oligomerization"
