MeSH Heading: Proanthocyanidins
Tree Number(s): D03.383.663.283.266.450.700; D03.633.100.150.266.450.700; D05.750.078.937.429
Unique ID: D044945
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D044945
Scope Note: Dimers and oligomers of flavan-3-ol units (CATECHIN analogs) linked mainly through C4 to C8 bonds to leucoanthocyanidins. They are structurally similar to ANTHOCYANINS but are the result of a different fork in biosynthetic pathways.
Entry Term(s): Anthocyanidin Polymers; Condensed Tannin; Condensed Tannins; Procyanidins; Tannin, Condensed
