Planteome: Term Details for "saponin metabolic process" (GO:0016134)

Accession: GO:0016134
Name: saponin metabolic process

Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways involving saponins, glycosides of plants in which the aglycan (sapogenin) group is a terpene or steroid and the sugar group is a glucose, a galactose, a pentose, a methylpentose or an oligosaccharide. Saponins are powerful surfactant agents and membrane active; they are, hence, toxic to animals on injection. Source: ISBN:0198547684
