This may occur via transport across the plasma membrane or via endocytosis. A long-chain fatty acid has an aliphatic tail containing 13 to 22 carbons. biological_process long-chain fatty acid uptake jl While there is not universal consensus on the lengths of short-, medium-, long- and very-long-chain fatty acids, the GO uses the definitions in ChEBI (see CHEBI:26666, CHEBI:59554, CHEBI:15904 and CHEBI:27283). 2012-03-21T03:34:04Z import into cell lipid import into cell
