Isoenzyme-- A variation of an enzyme.Each tissue--liver, bone, placenta, and intestine--produces a slightly different alkaline phosphatase. These variations are called isoenzymes.
Isoenzymes in blood serum can be used to diagnose disease.
The tube for CPK (creatine phosphokinase) isoenzymes is typically red or gold, depending on the laboratory.

Cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes are a group of enzymes in the liver that are involved in drug metabolism. Some examples of cytochrome P-450 isoenzymes include CYP3A4, CYP2D6, and CYP1A2. These isoenzymes play a crucial role in the breakdown and elimination of a wide range of drugs and toxins from the body.

A zymodeme is a group of parasites which share the same isoenzymes.
They have a catabolic action on substances, breaking them down into metabolites

isoform and isoenzymes are two different words for the same thing. Creatine kinase is an enzyme found in muscle and brain tissues. The different isoenzymes include MM, MB, and BB. The MM isoform is found primarily in skeletal muscle, the BB isoform is found primarily in brain tissue, and the MB isoform is found primarily in cardiac muscle.
The family of liver isoenzymes known as cytochrome P-450 are crucial to drug metabolism
