Isozyme


Isozymes (also known as isoenzymes) are enzymes that differ in amino acid sequence but catalyze the same chemical reaction. These enzymes usually display different kinetic parameters (i.e. different KM values), or different regulatory properties.

Isozyme
(Redirected from Isoenzyme)
Isozymes, (or isoenzymes) are isoforms (closely related variants) of enzymes. In many cases, they are coded for by homologous genes that have diverged over time.

Isozyme refers to polymorphic enzymes that result from different loci, while the term allozyme is reserved for allelic enzymes.
Allozyme polymorphisms are also used in phylogenetic and population analysis.
