Human Gene Set: GOBP_SECONDARY_METABOLIC_PROCESS

For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_SECONDARY_METABOLIC_PROCESS

Standard name GOBP_SECONDARY_METABOLIC_PROCESS
Systematic name M3773
Brief description The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in many of the chemical changes of compounds that are not necessarily required for growth and maintenance of cells, and are often unique to a taxon. In multicellular organisms secondary metabolism is generally carried out in specific cell types, and may be useful for the organism as a whole. In unicellular organisms, secondary metabolism is often used for the production of antibiotics or for the utilization and acquisition of unusual nutrients. [GOC:go_curators]
