protein complex oligomerization

Term ID

GO:0051259

Synonyms

protein multimerization
protein oligomer assembly
protein oligomer biosynthesis
protein oligomer biosynthetic process
protein oligomer formation
protein oligomerization

Definition

The process of creating protein oligomers, compounds composed of a small number, usually between three and ten, of component monomers; protein oligomers may be composed of different or identical monomers. Oligomers may be formed by the polymerization of a number of monomers or the depolymerization of a large protein polymer. 18293929
