Gene Expression Regulation, Enzymologic Categories.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Enzyme Induction - An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis.
Canadian Medical Guide Definition Enzyme Repression - The interference in synthesis of an enzyme due to the elevated level of an effector substance, usually a metabolite, whose presence would cause depression of the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis.
