Term Information

Accession
GO:0072593
Name
reactive oxygen species metabolic process
Ontology
biological_process
Synonyms
ROS metabolic process, reactive oxygen species metabolism
Alternate IDs
None
Definition
The chemical reactions and pathways involving a reactive oxygen species, any molecules or ions formed by the incomplete one-electron reduction of oxygen. They contribute to the microbicidal activity of phagocytes, regulation of signal transduction and gene expression, and the oxidative damage to biopolymers. Source: GOC:mah
