| Name | long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA catabolic process |
| ID | GO_0036116 |
| collection_id | Biological process |
| Exact synonym | long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA breakdown, long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA catabolism, long-chain fatty-acyl-CoA degradation |
| Description | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of long-chain fatty-acyl-CoAs, any derivative of coenzyme A in which the sulfhydryl group is in a thioester linkage with a long-chain fatty-acyl group. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons. |
| Comment | While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283). |
