| GO term: | detection of UV |
| Synonym: | detection of ultraviolet light stimulus |
| Synonym: | detection of ultraviolet radiation stimulus |
| Synonym: | detection of UV light stimulus |
| Synonym: | detection of UV radiation stimulus |
| Synonym: | perception of UV |
| GO id: | GO:0009589 |
| Definition: | The series of events in which an ultraviolet radiation (UV light) stimulus is received by a cell and converted into a molecular signal. Ultraviolet radiation is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength in the range of 10 to 380 nanometers. |
