"macroenzyme" meaning in All languages combined

See macroenzyme on Wiktionary

Noun [English]

Forms: macroenzymes [plural]
Etymology: From macro- + enzyme. Etymology templates: {{prefix|en|macro|enzyme}} macro- + enzyme Head templates: {{en-noun}} macroenzyme (plural macroenzymes)
  1. An enzyme of macromolecular size due to unusual biopolymerization or immune complexing, such as when a normal enzyme is protein-bound, typically by immunoglobulins (antibodies); macroenzymes by themselves are not always pathophysiologic or pathogenic, but their occurrence is increased in certain diseases (their formation is encouraged by some pathogenetic processes).
