Term Name:	4-aminobenzoate biosynthetic process
Synonyms:	4-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis, 4-aminobenzoic acid biosynthetic process, p-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis, p-aminobenzoic acid biosynthetic process, PABA biosynthesis, PABA biosynthetic process, para-aminobenzoic acid anabolism, para-aminobenzoic acid biosynthesis, para-aminobenzoic acid biosynthetic process, para-aminobenzoic acid formation, para-aminobenzoic acid synthesis, vitamin Bx biosynthesis, vitamin Bx biosynthetic process
Definition:	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.
