2026-05-10T00:00:00-07:00 · DEPRECATED_PROPERTY_RECORD · codex
Deprecated generic metabolism relation carrier; later replacement should use more specific trait records that combine the relation with the chemical, phenotype, quality, compartment, enzyme or activity target, growth context, measurement, or other entity.

Restored from DEPRECATED to REVIEWED under the predicate+class composition pattern (intended use: <organism> + this predicate + CHEBI chemical class). Added DOI/PMID-backed definition, evidence, and explicit domain/range slots.
