General Information
Term reactive oxygen species metabolic process ID (Ontology) GO:0072593 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways involving a reactive oxygen species, any molecules or ions formed by the incomplete one-electron reduction of oxygen. They contribute to the microbicidal activity of phagocytes, regulation of signal transduction and gene expression, and the oxidative damage to biopolymers.
Also Known As"reactive oxygen species metabolism" ; "ROS metabolic process"
