| Name | long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process |
| ID | GO_0042759 |
| collection_id | Biological process |
| Exact synonym | long-chain fatty acid anabolism, long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis, long-chain fatty acid formation, long-chain fatty acid synthesis |
| Description | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a long-chain fatty acid. 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). |
