inducible enzyme

The Inducible enzyme is used for the breaking-down of things in the cell.

It is an inducible enzyme, becoming abundant in activated macrophages and other cells at sites of inflammation.

According to our findings, the inducible enzyme may display an activity four to five times higher than that of the constitutive enzyme.

Corynebacterial sarcosine oxidase is a heterotetramer and is produced as an inducible enzyme when Corynebacterium sp.

Tryptophan 2, 3 dioxygenase (TDO) is expressed predominantly in hepatic tissues and was the first inducible enzyme system discovered in mammals [ 1].

An adaptive enzyme or inducible enzyme is an enzyme that is expressed only under conditions in which it is clear of adaptive value, as opposed to a constitutive enzyme which is produced all the time.

An example of inducible enzyme is COX-2 which is synthesized in macrophages to produce Prostaglandin E while the constitutive enzyme COX-1 (another isozyme in COX family) is always produced in variety of organisms in body (like stomach).
