4-aminobenzoate biosynthetic process https://github.com/geneontology/go-ontology/issues/28523 GO:0008153 p-aminobenzoic acid biosynthetic process The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of 4-aminobenzoate, an intermediate in the synthesis of folic acid, a compound which some organisms, e.g. prokaryotes, eukaryotic microbes, and plants, can synthesize de novo. Others, notably mammals, cannot. In yeast, it is present as a factor in the B complex of vitamins. 4-aminobenzoic acid biosynthetic process para-aminobenzoic acid anabolism PABA biosynthetic process p-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis MetaCyc:PWY-6543 vitamin Bx biosynthesis para-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis MetaCyc:PWY-8281 para-aminobenzoic acid formation biological_process para-aminobenzoic acid synthesis para-aminobenzoic acid biosynthetic process 4-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis PABA biosynthesis MetaCyc:PWY-8276 vitamin Bx biosynthetic process amino acid biosynthetic process aromatic amino acid biosynthetic process benzene-containing compound metabolic process monocarboxylic acid biosynthetic process
