Term Information

Accession: GO:0042438
Name: melanin biosynthetic process
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: melanin anabolism, melanin biosynthesis, melanin formation, melanin synthesis
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of melanins, pigments largely of animal origin. High molecular weight polymers of indole quinone, they are irregular polymeric structures and are divided into three groups: allomelanins in the plant kingdom and eumelanins and phaeomelanins in the animal kingdom.
