ZFIN GO: Biological Process: molybdopterin cofactor biosynthetic process

OBO ID: GO:0032324

Term Name:	molybdopterin cofactor biosynthetic process		Search Ontology:
Synonyms:	molybdopterin cofactor anabolism molybdopterin cofactor biosynthesis molybdopterin cofactor formation molybdopterin cofactor synthesis
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the molybdopterin cofactor (Moco), essential for the catalytic activity of some enzymes, e.g. sulfite oxidase, xanthine dehydrogenase, and aldehyde oxidase. The cofactor consists of a mononuclear molybdenum (Mo-molybdopterin) or tungsten ion (W-molybdopterin) coordinated by one or two molybdopterin ligands.
