DPD is the rate limiting enzyme involved in the catabolism of pyrimidines
like thymidine and uracil.
DPD is also the main enzyme involved in the degradation of structurally
related compounds like 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU), a widely used anticancer
drug.
The smallest enzyme present in the human body is probably Triosephosphate isomerase.
Enzyme replacement therapy is generally effective in treating enzyme deficiencies by providing the missing enzyme to the body. It can help improve symptoms and quality of life for patients with enzyme deficiencies.
If an enzyme is not present in the body, the specific biochemical reaction that the enzyme catalyzes will not occur efficiently or at all. This can lead to a buildup of substrates, causing metabolic imbalances and potential health issues. Enzyme deficiencies can result in conditions such as lactose intolerance or phenylketonuria.
Amylase is an enzyme found in the body that helps break down carbohydrates into simpler sugars, like glucose, during digestion. It is produced in the salivary glands and pancreas to aid in the digestion of starches in the food we eat.
The milk digestion enzyme, lactase, breaks down lactose into simpler sugars, glucose and galactose, in the body. This allows the body to absorb and utilize these sugars for energy.
Xeloda is known to induce serious and sometimes fatal side-effects in patients with low levels of an enzyme called dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD). DPD is the enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of Xeloda within the body. When you have low levels of DPD, Xeloda and its metabolite 5-Fluorouracil can accumulate to toxic levels and cause serious complications. Patients can be tested for DPD deficiency by simple laboratory tests prior to treatment.
Dow 30 Premium (DPD)had its IPO in 2005.
DPD is known as delayed pigment darkening and is a part of the sunless tanning process. It usually takes DPD 2 to 3 days to show up on the skin.

An enzyme speeds up your reaction in your body.
The enzyme that breaks down starches in the human body is called amylase.
The enzyme responsible for breaking down fat in the body is called lipase.
