| Name | very long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process |
| ID | GO_0042761 |
| collection_id | Biological process |
| Exact synonym | very-long-chain fatty acid anabolism, very-long-chain fatty acid biosynthesis, very-long-chain fatty acid biosynthetic process, very-long-chain fatty acid formation, very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis |
| Description | The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a very long-chain fatty acid. A very long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing more than 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). |
