Term:saponin catabolic process

Accession:GO:0016136 term browser browse the term
Definition:The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of 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.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: saponin breakdown;   saponin catabolism;   saponin degradation
