Mouse Gene Set: GOBP_FATTY_ACID_CATABOLIC_PROCESS

For the Human gene set with the same name, see GOBP_FATTY_ACID_CATABOLIC_PROCESS

Standard name GOBP_FATTY_ACID_CATABOLIC_PROCESS
Systematic name MM5199
Brief description The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of a fatty acid, any of the aliphatic monocarboxylic acids that can be liberated by hydrolysis from naturally occurring fats and oils. Fatty acids are predominantly straight-chain acids of 4 to 24 carbon atoms, which may be saturated or unsaturated; branched fatty acids and hydroxy fatty acids also occur, and very long chain acids of over 30 carbons are found in waxes.
