ZymogenA protein that may be converted into an enzyme.
|
2 |
ZymogenSome proteins are synthesized as zymogens, which are enzymatically inactive precursors of proteolytic enzymes. Zymogens usually become activated by posttranslational modifications, such as cleavage in a particular peptide sequence.
|
3 |
ZymogenAn inactive precursor of an enzyme. For example, trypsin exists in the inactive form trypsinogen before it is converted to its active form, trypsin.
|
4 |
Zymogen(n) any of a group of compounds that are inactive precursors of enzymes and require some change (such as the hydrolysis of a fragment that masks an active enzyme) to become active
|
5 |
Zymogenan inactive precursor molecule which is transformed into its active form following cleavage by a protease.
|
6 |
ZymogenAn inactive enzyme precursor that is activated by proteolysis; a proenzyme.
|
7 |
Zymogen
(biochemistry) A proenzyme, or enzyme precursor, which requires a biochemical change (i.e. hydrolysis) to become an active form of the enzyme.
