Accession:GO:0019854 term browser browse the term
Definition:The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the breakdown of L-ascorbic acid; L-ascorbic acid ionizes to give L-ascorbate, (2R)-2-[(1S)-1,2-dihydroxyethyl]-4-hydroxy-5-oxo-2,5-dihydrofuran-3-olate, which is required as a cofactor in the oxidation of prolyl residues to hydroxyprolyl, and other reactions.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: L-ascorbic acid breakdown;   L-ascorbic acid catabolism;   L-ascorbic acid degradation;   ascorbate catabolic process;   ascorbate catabolism;   vitamin C catabolic process;   vitamin C catabolism
 xref: MetaCyc:PWY0-301
