Metabolite: HMDB0015532 (Zinc)
Term: Pyrimidine Metabolism
Definition: cytosine, thymine, and uracil are pyrimidine derivatives. synthesis of the pyrimidines is less complex than that of the purines, since the base is much simpler this pathway depicts a number of processes including pyrimidine nucleotide biosynthesis, pyrimidine degradation and pyrimidine salvage.
Parent Term: Biochemical pathway
Parent Definition: A linked series of chemical reactions that occur in a defined order within or between organism cells, and lead to a known function or end product.
