limiting enzyme

PRPP Amidotransferase is the rate limiting enzyme of purine synthesis.

In this form it is usually accumulated in the liver until it undergoes further conversion by aldolase B (the rate limiting enzyme of fructose metabolism).

Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) is the rate limiting enzyme in the formation of prostaglandins and probably plays a key part in the pathology of various inflammatory diseases.

PLA2 is the rate limiting enzyme in the early steps of eicosanoid synthesis, and therefore is considered to play a key part in the production of inflammatory mediators.

The chlorophyllase enzyme is a smart choice as the rate limiting enzyme of the catabolic pathway since degreening and the expression of chlorophyllase is induced in ethylene-treated Citrus.

These compartments are thought to concentrate carbon dioxide to overcome the inefficiency of RuBisCO - the predominant enzyme in carbon fixation and the rate limiting enzyme in the Calvin cycle.

Recent research suggests that COX subunit I (COX1), a rate limiting enzyme in the cellular respiration pathway associated with the synthesis of ATP, has evolved under positive Darwinian selection in the Utricularia-Genlisea clade.

Moreover, regucalcin has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on aminoacyl t-RNA synthetase, a rate limiting enzyme at translational process of protein synthesis and an activatory effect on cystein protease and superoxide dismutase in liver and kidney cells.
