återkopplingshämning
återkopplingshämning, also known as feedback inhibition, is a regulatory mechanism in biological systems. It occurs when the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an enzyme earlier in that same pathway. This prevents the overproduction of the end product and conserves cellular resources.
In many biochemical processes, a series of enzymatic reactions convert a starting molecule into a final product.
This type of regulation is crucial for maintaining homeostasis. For example, in the synthesis of amino acids,
